• Full moon party

    August 3, 2015 in Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Another murky day - apparently it's normal for a couple of months around now. We had a lazy day then headed out for a short walk along the beach before having nachos and frozen yogurt again for lunch - no sharing this time though!

    We then booked a whale watching tour for tomorrow not realising it was a full moon party tonight so not too late a night for us oldies!

    Anna went surfing, moving down from the huge beginner boards she tried in Mancora to the smaller mini mal type. The waves weren't the best but she managed to get a few waves despite finding it a bit wobbly. I went in to try out the new waterproof camera, which seems fine, but failed to get any decent action shots.

    For dinner we found a deal for a big pizza and 2 big beers for $10...since I don't drink beer, Anna lucked out! We then watched a really good fire poi / juggling etc show in the street to start off the full moon party festivities. Not much seemed to be happening so we retired to our room and I fell asleep.

    Anna woke me up just before midnight and we went down to the beach to watch them light the full moon sign, another fire show and some fireworks. There was a nice vibe but not many people and not much to see so we went to bed shortly after.
