Day 97   Nov 8 2014   Guayaquil Ecuador

We took a bus from Montanita to Guayaquil today.  We checked in and were informed that hotels.com had somehow booked 2 rooms for us instead of the one required.  We have to wait till Monday to find out if the hotel will let us cancel one room or if we have to pay for both.  Since it was late in the afternoon when we arrived we jumped into a cab immediately after checking into the hotel to go to see Parque Seminario which is a park that is full of Iguanas. There was one tree that must have had at least 50 iguanas in it. After the park we went to a shopping mall and tried to get money out of the bank machines.  We tried 3 different banks and 6 different machines before we were successful in getting some money.  I always find it a bit stressful when we are getting low on cash and have trouble finding a working bank machine.  We also bought Isabel another pair of earrings today.  She lost another pair a few days ago and needed new ones; it has been an expensive year for earrings.
