And the adventures continue!
After leaving the Galapagos I met up with my couch surfing host in Guayaquil and he showed me around the city along with his other surfer from Argentina!
The next day I took an eight hour night bus down into Peru to a city called Mancora. For some reason I thought we'd be getting there later in the morning but my stop dropped me off at 3:30 in the morning. So in need of a place to sleep I asked the first hostel I came across if I could set up a hammock until morning. Instead, they doubled up two of the pool side reclining chair cushions and let me sleep there for the night!
My wake up call was at 7:30 by the lovely screeching of a few roosters in the neighboring yard. Unable to sleep through that cacophony, I set out on the town to complete the one item on my to-do list: find a job. A few travelers I had met recommended a hostel called Loki del mar. Best recommendations ever. Within ten minutes of being there I got a job working the bar and the perks that are included are amazing! Free accommodation, breakfast, one free meal and 40% off my bar and food tab all for working about twenty-five hours a week. I'd say I scored pretty well with this set up. Not to mention the fact that this place is gorgeous and is about a 30 foot walk away from perfect waves. I'll have some shots of it up soon but for now just google "Loki del mar Mancora Peru"
Hasta próxima vez!
