On the road again. Same old highland, river valley twisties with remnants of the earlier torrentials. Good and bad road surface, then we started to descend into the coastal area. The temperature and humidity rises, more and more small towns, all of which have speed and school zones to drive through. Both the towns and school zones have topes (speed bumps) of differing degrees. Some are large and long, some are small and then the multiple small bumps, and these happen every 10 or so kilometers. Since arriving in Ecuador, the population has increased so much that towns are very frequent now and daily mileage has decreased from 500-600kms down to 250-300kms. But,, we ended up riding 400kms and arrived in the small town of Covenas just before dark. Were directed to a seaside resort and made a mistake. Stopped at a timeshare and asked the price. Little more than we wanted to spend, so we checked out a few more, including a cockroach hospidaje and decided to splurge. Got a 3 bedroom suite at a beautiful resort for $75can a night.
