Monika´s revenge

















Mindo is a small town, down a track in the middle of the cloud forest. It is the sort of town where children and dogs play in the middle of the road all day and most of the night. Mindo is famous for its bird life, waterfalls and beautiful hostals with natural swimming pools, saunas and humming birds in their gardens

Monika, our Spanish teacher, has a friend who has a hostal in Mindo. Monika kindly arranged our booking with her friend.

Because we had missed our bus we arrived in the dark and with limited cash. We found out that there is no where to get cash in Mindo

Our hostal room was filthy and mosquito ridden. There was no one else staying there and the garden was a dump. We were landed with a crap guide to take us into the jungle. We are now both infected with fleas . We couldnt move because we didnt have any cash

Dispite Monika we did see humming birds and a type of Toucan and swam in waterfalls in the jungle
