• Sugar cravings

    August 2, 2015 in Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    The morning was murky again. After breakfast (fruit, juice and nice buttered rolls) we chilled in our room - the rest is doing me good. I am still yet to see any whales from the window - there are splashes on the horizon which are most likely breaches but they don't seem to come too close to shore.

    We went for a long walk down the beach again, this time even further and our feet were aching by the time we got back - not used to exercise at the moment! It brightened up on our walk but was cloudy again by the time we got back.

    We found a street food seller that did Mexican and shared some amazing nachos ($2.25), then shared some frozen yogurt.

    We spent most of the afternoon in our room chilling / trying to sleep (I'm still having trouble sleeping; Anna is sleeping like a log!). Due to lack of sleep I craved sugar and went out in search of sustenance! For a dollar, I came back with a small ice cream in the shape of a donut for each of us. This only satisfied us temporarily and Anna later spotted a hippy selling donuts from the window so raced after them and got us more sugary happiness for a dollar.

    We had planned to go out for dinner but I switched on the tv and there was an E! night on Caitlyn Jenner that we'd both wanted to see in the UK. Anna ran out and loaded us up with crisps, chocolate and chips and we were set for our trashy night in! Then we watched Botched - plastic surgery gone wrong - featuring a lady who went to Mexico to have a tummy tuck and they didn't use any anaesthesia, just 2 big blocks of ice!! I'm glad my experience in Peru wasn't like that!!
