Hola todos!
We are now in the very relaxing peaceful town of Vilcabamba.. we have now been here two nights and really enjoying the lovely hostel and relaxing atmosphere.. bit of a change from Montanita!
Montanita was loads of fun.. ended up staying there 5 nights!!! Not much to do but sit on the beach in the day and go to a bar in the evening.. but was lots of fun.. we were with a good group of people! Managed to hire a body board out one day which i (tilly) loved :) wanted to get surfing lesson but got so sunburnt that had to give it a miss!
We changed hostels to the one we aimed to go to to start with... centro del mundo.. it was even cheaper only $3.50 a night but our bed was a mattress on the floor covered by a mosquito net! There are about 30 beds on the 3rd floor of a wooden building on the beach there is a roof over the top but open ends soo it really nice you get a cool sea breeze through the night.. which is a good change to the other hostel with the very strange rasta men! It was good to get some sun but havnt quite got a tan yet.. more like bred and peely .. nice :s
We took a overnight bus to Vilcabamba which was strange .. not quite a normal nights sleep.. but at least you save on a nights accomodation! Vilcabamba is really nice.. the hostel is more like a mini resort.. with a swimming pool.. really good food and really nice dorms with stone hot showers! Met some nice people and are finally having to work out to speak spanish on our own (as we have been travelling with others up till now). There is also lots of people at the hostel here for a 3 day conference on reincarnation and spiritual energy etc.. which is slighty odd.. but all good! We went on a 4 hour horse ride up to a waterfall yesterday (and are definatly feeling it today) it was really good.. felt slightly bad for the horses having to climb up the mountain. Horse riding here is very different to at home .. a very new experience! at least the horses were good. We will probably spend one more night here peru going across the border in Peru !!! Can´t wait...
Hope all is well at home.. and don´t worry we won´t be getting swine flu!
Later Alligator
