Some places should be avoided..

I’m not talking about Equador itself. I’m talking about the ‘nice’ little hotel, the ‘nice’ person at the information desk at Ecuador airport recommended I stay at for a stopover.

Well, I can say this. This place was CHEAP.. Cheap in so many ways. I was at first a little concerned as I left to find some food, the other guests seemed a little noisy – or could it have been the rice-paper-thin walls..? Then to the streets which were overflowing with gang members and homeless zombies everywhere. After wading through, I found some edible food-stuffs and ventured back, looking forward to a decent nights sleep. I had to wake the guard (receptionist) to let me in. -If only the Rottweiler chained in reception (which was well awake by then) had opposable digits and a key – he could have let me in. Then finally, I get to my room and as I was entering I notice the guests next door leaving only to be greeted by scantily clad ladies (of the night?), of course, putting on a few finishing touches as she hastily made her way away.

Ahhh, this is the life..
