We grabbed a short 7 hr bus from Banos to Guayaquil (I am going bus numb at this point!) we landed in Guayaquil late in the evening (not so much hungry as car sick from the constantly curving roads!). We just grabbed a quick taxi and landed in the our hostel, which had decent WIFI and a TV in the room so we just chilled and caught up on a bit of Netflix! We were up early the next day for the extremely long bus to Lima, meeting two Irish boys in the Hostel (Who obviously were listening to their mammy's as they were up at 05:30 to make stacks of Ham Sandwiches for the long bus ride.......Wish I had that idea.......). We got a lift to the bus terminal with them from the hostel owners husband and mentally prepared ourselves for the 30 hr bus ride to come.......not an exageration......
