Day 24 – Vilcabamba


Christmas Eve. I had a choice of getting a bus at five in the morning or of relaxing in the hostel gardens all day and getting the overnight bus. Conscious of my need for recovery after a day on a horse I opted for the latter, hence, I have very little to say and will instead dish out some rather superfluous Ecuadorian awards:


Best hostel – Rendevouz (Vilcabamba), luxurious beds, feather pillows and soft toilet paper, what more could a weary body want for?

Best activity – Snorkelling (Galapagos), sharks, penguins, sea-lions and not a floating condom in site.

Best meal – Servi-Sabroson restaurant (Galapagos), serving up the finest tropical fish this side of Grimsby.

Best snack – Fried meat and plantain balls (Galapagos), as big as a cricket ball but far easier to swallow.

Best beer – Conquer, found once in over three weeks.

Ecuador is such a diverse and peaceful country. The weather, the colonial cities and the people are just fantastic. Nothing compares to the landscapes of the Highlands, the lush of the Amazon Rainforest, the exotic Beaches of the Coast and the mystery of the Galapagos Islands.
