Off to the next place and next country. Watched the Water Deviner and observed thousands of Banana Tree plants along the way in the bus. Before we had to cross the border from Ecuador to Peru. This also meant we left Johanna behind (little bit sad as she was pretty cool) and got a new guide called Patricia. Quite a weird experience crossing the boarder. Ecuador and Peru had a fight about the buildings so now there are two exactly the same buildings 3 km apart. One is to get to Peru and the other into Ecuador. Literally exactly the same buildings!

Travelled by private van from the border to a small town before we headed out to the isolation of the Ecological Tourist Cente. It's a cute little resort like place 10m from the beach. They flush the toilet with recycled water from the basin (even worse you still have to put the toilet paper in the bin next to the toilet). The rooms were quite nice, but the beds were rock hard and there were flys/sand flies everywhere.

Here we just relaxed. Played some cards, had some strawberries and gins on the beach and swum in the sea. The sea was meant to be beautiful but it was really muddy and had gross sticks everywhere due to all the rain the night before. Watched a couple of beautiful sunsets and even had a bonfire on the beach with the workers from the resort and their families.

Seen our first Peruvian dog. It's hairless except a tuff on top of its head. Kind of feel sorry for it, that's how ugly it is.  But they are incredibly warm and apparently small ones are being breed for people with arthritis is colder areas of Peru.

The food was really well cooked. I tried Paella and pisco sour ( Brandy drink that is the nation's drink and is quite strong). Both were pretty yum!
