July 18-22 - Mancora, Peru


Loki Hostel
We caught day bus to Guayaquil from Banos expecting to stay the night in Guayaquil. However when we got to the bus station in Guayaquil we found that there was an overnight bus into Mancora, Peru so we decided to take it. It was about 5 hours to the Peruvian border, where after about 7 years of dreaming about it, I finally got a peruvian stamp in my passport! It was about another 4 hours to Mancora and we arrived at about 5am. Luckily we had made a reservation at one of the hostels there that sounded really nice and they let us lock our bags up there and sleep in the beds by the pool till we could check in at 7am.
Shortly after we checked in we met the two other girls staying in our dorm, Layla and Miranda. That day we hung around the pool and had a few drinks, checked out the beach and wandered around town. That evening we met two Irish guys and an American guy travelling together. The next 3 days basically consisted off the 8 of us lounging around by the pool drinking and joking around. It was an amazing 4 days and it was nice to chill out in a fun place with Sam since she only had 2 weeks total for her trip. It was also really nice to chill out at the beach one last time on this trip since after Mancora I will be heading inland and into the mountains.
Stacy, Miranda, Layla and Sam
