Guayaquil

More beautiful than expected, just spent my last weekend walking down the streets and the seaside boardwalk...

I guess this is Atawallpa, the last Inka Emperor. The building is the library:

And that is a School Boat at the Malecon:

Myself in front of the boat:

Guayaquil is full of nice gardens with beautiful flowers:

This is the cerro de Santa Ana, with the lighthouse on top:

A house at the beautiful quarter of Las Peñas:

The church at the top of Cerro Santa Clara next to the sunset:

More nice gardens:

A very old tree somewhere at the malecón:

An arabic-style lighthouse at the malecón as well:

Nice panorama of the Guayas river:

Panorama of Guayaquil just at sunset:

And that was the last picture of this blog. I am leaving in some hours for Barcelona and after a few weeks for Germany. Thanks to all of you for your comments, I really felt I was never alone while reading them. This trip has been unforgettable and uncomparable. See you soon, I will contact you when I am ready!!

Así que esta es la última foto del blog. En unas horas tomo un avión para Barcelona y después de unas semanas para Alemania. Gracias a todos por los comentarios, realmente sentí que nunca estaba solo leyéndolos. Este viaje ha sido inolvidable e incomparable. Nos vemos pronto, llamaré cuando esté listo!!

So das ist das letzte Bild der Blog. In einige Stunde nehme ich ein Flugzeug nach Barcelona und nach ein Paar Wochen nach Deutschland. Vielen Dank an Alle für eure Kommentare, ich habe mich nie allein gefühlt als ich die gelessen habe. Diese Reise war unvergesslich und unvergleichwar. Wir sehen uns bald, ich melde mich wenn ich fertig bin!!
