Story 1: I arrived in Ecuador, crossing the border I play with very few people, so that the process was quite fast on the side of migration, but the customs check I was asked to shoot the obligatory insurance for Ecuador, I met there Australian marriages of two round the world in their cars 4x4, after talking a while with travelers continue to buy insurance at a village 5 minutes and when I got my way Machala continue the next city where I stay, Machala walk looking at me who could change the oil, the heat was felt very wet, after I could not find anyone to service continue my way to Guayaquil where the adventure began to fail, turn off the lights suddenly and the board so I figured an electrical problem, turn off the bike at a gas station and did not want to boot up and then I had to ask someone to pass me with the car running, so get to Guayaquil where excessive heat and lack of power the fan made the bike almost exploded by heating they had, in the street I met the engineer Fernando who towed me to a hotel for the night, the next day I went to buy a battery and the problem was fixed.
Story 2: I arrived in Montanita a village on the coast where the beach, surf, reggae music and a thousand more things captivate you in this beautiful place .... when I thank God adventurous stood a few blocks away from the hostel where I stay, that way was not so bad, but the bike continue failing so I started to move to fix the problem and after waiting for 4 days at mechanic to see the bike please contact me Paul Guayaquil ofreciedome take me back, do not hesitate to call him to come for me. Thank you very much Paul for the favorsote I did.
Story 3: I'm in Guayaquil waiting for the adventurous stay again as new, it still burned checked alternator stator and is pending regulatory review to see if it works good. After having repaired the stator finally giving me a check on regulatory burden on green range, so to continue my journey. Sali with way back to shore, where I was staying at hill and in the same hostel where I was last days.
Story 4: Sali Montañita bound to Canoa, a small town on the coast, somewhat like the other coastal towns, that day came and were celebrating some saints and feasts had in the town where the music was in front of hostel where he slept, was one of the loudest nights to rest the good thing was the second day was a dead calm as the day before was the termination of the holidays.
Story 5: I'm in Mompiche a coastal town, with much more vegetation than the other towns on the coast, here the humidity, overcast skies and wet soil are very normal in this season, a very nice and quiet village, here I met the Swiss Daniel had met on the boat that brought me to Colombia from Panama. I have 4 days in Mompiche and I do not want to go the place is heavenly, but the route has to continue heading north tomorrow so will leave for Quito to continue my journey.
Story 6: I've left the coast to continue to the capital of this country, a road in very good condition but heavily traveled by trucks and to take the path of Santo Domingo, after several hours of walking to reach Quito where I met Ramiro Ordoñez, my friend motorcyclist had visited South America on his motorcycle and had seen in Brazil in his tour, spend several days there exploring the city and meeting with several anecdotes motocilcistas to share and talk about the trip. It was time to leave the capital and continue my road to Ibarra a city north of Quito and last point to visit this country. We went out to meet with Juan road who would be my contact Fernando Ibarra to stay at home, on the way the monument had to know half the world is located in Quito and Cayambe which is presumed to be more accurate than the one in the capital, also went to Otavalo town famous for its craft market. We came to Ibarra, after I get comfortable for a walk around town with some friends to show me the city and the nightlife, the next day we visited around the city Juan Fernando and his family that the day was quite helpful and I met many amazing sites and landscapes in addition to have fun with them.
Thanks to everyone who made my time in Ecuador something pleasant and helped me with the mechanical problems that had the adventurous.
