11/2/23 Today I was starting a three day hike, the much talked about Quilotoa loop, starting in Sigchos and ending in Quilotoa after walking by the infamous turquoise lake. After checking out, I headed to the bus station alone. I knew a few people were probably going from the hostel, including my German roomie, butContinue reading “Killing Quilotoa Loop 💪”

Banos – scrambling, rafting and waterfalls
8/2/23 Today I was meant to cycle to the waterfalls. It was meant to take a few hours, but I woke up exhausted and really didn’t fancy it. Instead, after I enjoyed a slow breakfast of avocado on fresh bread from the bakery and my coffee that I still had left from Galapagos, I headedContinue reading “Banos – scrambling, rafting and waterfalls”
A really rather windy volcano 🌋
5/2/23 Today I had my final glorious breakfast at the Guillerminas hostel, but decided against the eggs since I think it was the eggs the day before that had made me ill. I had avocado toast before packing and resting and ensuring I was psyched up for my bus. On the bus, I gazed outContinue reading “A really rather windy volcano 🌋”

After a lie in, I headed out around 9am and first got a scrummy breakfast, in a cafe where I drank good coffee, watched the finches bob about and ready my book a little. Then I bought aContinue reading “‘Can I use your ladders?’”
Penguins and politics, raffles and reggaeton, snorkels, surf and salsa
26/1/23 Today I got up early voluntarily because I wanted to go to Concha de Perla, a mangrove bay, to snorkel solo. Alberto (the bar owner) said that early was better to beat the crowds. Pia was also interested so we walked down together. I borrowed a snorkel from the hostel and checked that theContinue reading “Penguins and politics, raffles and reggaeton, snorkels, surf and salsa”

22/1/23 Ay ho ay ho, its off to work we go 🎶 Today I was moving to Isla Isabela to begin my first ever workaway. I had an early ferry to catch so naturally woke up every hour to check I hadn’t missed my alarm, despite only going to bed at 2am and having toContinue reading “Off to Isabela we go ⛏️”
Going to Galapagos 🐧🐢🦈
20/1/23 Today was the day! I’m was going to Galapagos! 🥳🥳🥳 I had an early flight and got to the airport extra early because apparently going to Galapagos is quite the process with many forms to be fill, bags to be thoroughly checked and money to be paid. I was pleased to have made itContinue reading “Going to Galapagos 🐧🐢🦈”
