Decided to go to Finn McCools again cos the food was excellent last night, I saw a fry on the menu and the craic seemed good enough. The plan for today after breakfast was to go to Mitad del Mundo (Middle of the World) - in Ecuador, you simply have to go to the equator! Then if I got back in daylight - it's 90mins each way to Mitad - I said I'd try to go up the TeleferiQo. A nice touristy day!
Had great craic with the cleaning staff in the hostel for a good while, then headed off and got a taxi to the pub.

Got there about 12.30 and ordered the fry. Few lads in there had been there since 7.30. Very friendly lads, I told them that I wouldn't mind having a look at the American Football at 1 if they had it. They did indeed have it, and not just that, there was a choice of 5 matches to watch. I was handed the remote and told to start flicking! Heaven. Then they told me that their annual pool competition was on today. The Americas vs Europe using a Ryder Cup format. Would I play?
So the choice was A. 3 back to back NFL matches on the big screen with me in control of the remote, pool, craic, Match of the Day 2, pints, delicious food, sound lads or B. head off to the equator.
I was last out when they closed the place at 10pm - OBVIOUSLY! Plus my team the Jets won a nailbiter against the Broncos. What an absolutely brilliant day. Though we did lose the pool. And they did close early cos it was a Sunday night. Ah who cares!

| Ryder Cup of pool. This was serious stuff. Until all the Europeans got drunk! The Ecuadorians all stayed sober cos they took it so seriously |
Came back and said farewell to Unai, who's off to Colombia in the morning.

| Good luck now chief |
