Tuesday, April 8, 2008

So 28 hours ago i began would would be my marathon of bus rides, from lima peru, We crosssed 3 checkpoints at the border but overall it was pretty chilled out, it was a double decker bus, we were on the bottom with 1 other person 3 seats and total, it felt like we had our own private tour bus, was definatly really nice.

We met a dutch domincan man whos been living in caracas venuzuala, he gave us some tips, and said dont trust the media, and all borders are open.

Upon arriving in guayaqui as the sun was setting we made the judgement call to B-line it to quito, its about the same price as the bus as to take a cab downtown.
Ecuador uses us dollars which makes things much more expensive coz you dont win on the conversion.

So at 9 pm we leave to quito ecuador should arrive around 5-6 am then i think we will relax a few days.



Party night in lima
So i went out partying with some lima girls i had met in cusco it was one of thems b-day, unfortunatly as i was told about 6 times by everyone i had met about how crazy and violent the neighborhood i was going to was, i never brought a camera so i have no photos, shitty eh?
Regardless the neghborhood was fine, just like a mill woods i guess its like a third of all lima lives in that area and thus, theres good and bad, where i was seemed fine, i met the girls gramma and aunt, as the rest of her family has moved to italy, and shes soon to follow...

Naval club
After a few drinks and chatting with the family we took off to a private naval club, was very posh a similar place that my cousin had her 15th bday party at 4 months earlier, it there was also several weddings and such going on at the same time.

So the whole crazy latina jelousy thing has gotten old fast, That night everything was all fun and lots of dancing then i went and started talking to a differnt girl, we danced a bit.
Then the girl whos b-day it was grabs me from her pulls me to dance and just starts bitching me out about how its her bday and i should be spending all my time with her lol
But as i was talking to the girls i liked i was looking back and seen her busy talking to shane and her friend... aparently they were speaking about me lol
anyways around 4am we took off coz we had our 28 hour bus ride to take, bus ride went fairly fast coz we were exhausted.

First impressions of ecaudor.
Its way differnt then peru, really tropical, and i dont think ive ever seen SO many banana trees in my life!!
Its really really hot and Insainly humid, too think less then a week ago i was freezing in cusco, aparently quito is really cold because of the altitude, but i think after that im gonna start ditching my warm weather clothing, as once i had the caribean its all hot sailing from there on in!

Cheers
