Crucita – Living on a Hill overlooking the Pacific.
Posted in Ecuador, Property, Travel and places to stay on Feb 4th, 2008
I’m spending Carnival in Crucita. Carnival is not celebrated so spectacularly as it is in Brazil, or even New Orleans. But if planned enthusiastic devotion to hedonistic pursuits are a yardstick then Ecuadorians score high. These are the rules:- you must not work unless you are serving others; if it’s at all possible you must [...]
Bahia de Caraquez
Posted in Ecuador, Property, Travel and places to stay on Feb 2nd, 2008
Well, it was time to hit the road and see what was new on the Manabi coast since I was down there a year ago. I’d been to Esmeraldas a few months ago but Manabi is totally different. Esmeraldas is more humid, or maybe tropical sounds better, whilst Manabi is closer to the equator, drier [...]
The Ecuadorian Seaside
Posted in Ecuador, Travel and places to stay on Feb 1st, 2008
Well, after arriving last night in the un-seasonal drizzle I awoke to see clear skies. It seems that El Niño, which brings warm currents and more rain, has turned up like an un-invited guest to the Carnival festivities this year. The Ecuadorians will ignore this and turn up in tens of thousands to the coast [...]
Roads in Ecuador
Posted in Ecuador, Travel and places to stay on Jan 29th, 2008
Well, I have just traveled to the coast from Quito for the first time in a year. Good news and bad news! It took us 13 hours in a slow bus being driven by a careful driver. There’s a happy medium somewhere but definitely we erred maybe too much on safety. We took the route [...]

Here are some snapshots of the El Meson de las Flores Inn. We hope we can help you. Built over 150 years ago, the entrance this Inn at Cotacachi [...]
Aerogal 737s, Gary’s reply
Posted in Ecuador, Travel and places to stay on Jan 10th, 2008
I do not think that Aerogal is saying that the Boeing 737-200 aircraft is a brand new plane. I believe they are saying that the Boeing 737-200 aircraft they fly are new ones not used ones like many emerging country airlines use. Many readers write to us worried about this so I think the spin [...]
new planes at Aerogal?
Posted in Ecuador, Travel and places to stay on Jan 10th, 2008
In response to Gary’s post on Aerogal (see Aerogal Service) here is what one reader wrote: Hi Gary, As someone with a long established interest in aviation safety – I think we could do without spin like “good focus on safety as well with all of the airline’s planes, including six new Boeing 737-200 aircraft” [...]

Balanced View 2
Posted in Ecuador, Travel and places to stay on Jan 6th, 2008
Dear Gary and Merri I was gobsmacked (I bet you haven’t heard that expression for a while) when I read the comments (reproduced below in itallics) on this so-called expert on Ecuador. I suppose it takes all kinds of ignorant gits to make up the world but this idiot takes the cake. Thank god you [...]
