A week ago we crossed the boarder to Ecuador. The first impression was not too good. People here were not very friendly, apparently a lot around here have something against the Colombians. So we have had problems finding hostels and so because they don't want Colombians, really racistic and this is the first time I have experienced this in South America.
We went to the coast, Esmeraldas. But here the people had an attitude even worse, and we didn't feel safe or good there at all, so after one day we took the bus a little further south to a little city called Atacames and it seemed like a great place to celebrate my 20th birthday. It turned out to be a mixed expirience though. The first night someone (we think it was the hotelowner, but we don't have any proof) stole my cellphone and my camera. Really unlucky because I had a lot of photos only on the camera, and they are lost now. For this reason we spent a whole day talking to the police and trying to find some kind of solution to this problem, but the hotelowner as basically an asshole, so it all ended out in nothing.
My birthday was great though. Gustavo made me a delicious lunch with seafood (gotta enjoy being at the coast ;) ) and spent the day on the beach. I have never tried that before, since in Denmark it not really what you feel like doing in the end of November ;)
Now we are in Quito, I bought a new camera so hopefully there will be lots of great photos in the future. The city is really beautiful, but it is freaking cold here, so I think we will move in towards Colombia one of the upcoming days. Especially because we want to celebrate Christmas in Colombia and transportation gets really expensive in December apparently.
Anyways, I'm still enjoying life around here :D
