Montañita, Ecuador 🇪🇨 

All packed, I eat a big breakfast and walk up to the bus station.  The usual hullabaloo ensures as people get on and off, before they move us all forward a row and we set off.  The trip to Guayaquil is just under 4hours and winds first up through El Cajas National Park.  It is great to see this space again and at one point we are above a cloud blanket which feels strange.  

We arrive early into Guayaquil, full of hope that I can catch a earlier bus, I ascend and descend the 3 floor building trying to find a ticket office.  I finally find it with 5minutes spare, rushing to the bus, it is late so I easily hop on and relax into the journey up the coast.  I have booked 5 nights at Montañita, 30metres from the beach at a place that offers yoga.  I feel it will be a good place to relax and stretch out my body a bit.  I am a bit tired and grouchy when I arrive so have a quick bite to eat and head to bed.
