Manta Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

This trip comes at a break point in life: - My business is 10 years old & moving into a new season - My debut album is finished & getting stocked in shops during jan08 - My wife & I are looking to set up a new biz within activity-based travel - We're both looking to get more stuck into church projects We have an opportunity to take a break and get a refresh before it all kicks off again so we're visiting Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Fiji, and Japan - this is the blog!

next stop -surfing and spanish lessons for 2 weeks

We arrived in the industrial fishing port of Manta saturday night to find we are staying with a lovely family in a great house just 10mins walk from the beach, right near the main street for shops and night life and they have a pool in the garden!!! Definitely got the general feeling we've landed on our feet. Camilla is our host and has two sons and a lovely wider family who we have visited as well - they were all very welcoming. Her son Paul speaks very good english which is a great help. On sunday we've just chilled out, gone to the beach and back and then attended mass at the catholic church in the evening with Camilla - just like church at home - singing, a preach, say hello to some people, have communion and go home - moi bien!

hard life eh?
