Playas to Guayaquil

09.02.2012

So our last morning in Playas...I had thought it would be nice to do more beach walk - not as much as yesterday, tho - but the sun was out full force. So we just packed up and then cooled it in the shade of the patio, visiting with the other guests and Roger. After we had lunch downtown, Roger drove us over to the bus terminal and away we went. We had an air-conditioned bus this time, which made the 2 hour trip more comfortable. So we arrived in Guayaquil and got to our hotel. We went out walking around the downtown area and along the malecon (walkway along the river). For a big city (2 1/2 million), the downtown is an interesting mix of old and new buildings. Tomorrow morning early we fly off to Lima, so goodbye to Ecuador, hello Peru.
