After a fantastic adventure in Colombia last summer and after surviving the horror of Gcse’s (one taking then whilst the other 3 suffered in relative silence) we decided to embark on another S American adventure. So after a lot of careful research, which responsible parent doesn’t do this when taking their precious daughters half way round the world? Ideally we would like them to enjoy the experience but nothing in life is perfect so we returned to the tried and tested method of selecting the cheapest flights and here we are in Guayaquil the largest city in Ecuador. We didn’t do a huge amount of planning before we left the UK, just flights, a spot of reading and a rental car. The idea was that we would use the 2 weeks we had in the USA whilst the girls were at summer camp to go over the finer details. However the 2 weeks (first holiday alone in 16 years) quickly vanished in catching up with old friends, fishing, sleeping on the beach and just possibly a strawberry mojito or 3. So here we are in Hotel Unipark in the middle of the city trying to come up with a plan. Should be interesting.. ….
