Another message from uncle travelling Mac!

After a breathtaking vacation with my wonderful boyfriend, my sister and her husband in Peru, we took a tear dripping goodbye and Inger Marie and me went off to Guyaquil, Equador, two days ago. From there we took a bus out to the famous beaches of the coast- now we are situated in Montañita- which is a great surfers paradise and have young people visiting from all over the world. Today we have been to the beach, where IM took a fake tattoo ("courage" in chinese), we drank coconut milk from a coconut and ate fresh mango meanwhile the sun fried our skin. The waves are amazingly big (but actually not like in Lima, Amund!) so we stood for a while in the shallow water, enjoying the "yakussi"(boblebad) which was created by the foaming water. In the afternoon we went relaxing in the hammocks (hengekoyene) that are in our hotel, towards the ocean... How beautiful wasnt that!

We are going to enjoy two more days in our hotel called Brisa del Mar (lonely planet) before we move on to Lima and from there the next day with bus for 12 hours towards Arequipa and the midfield course with the other Act Nowers in South America. So long farewell!
