Our first time in South America brought us to the lively coastal town of Manta, Ecuador! ๐๏ธ Despite safety warnings, we had an amazing two days staying near the port and soaking up the local vibes. We started with a quick mall trip for a mani-pedi for Lanette and snorkel gear for Johan in preparation for the Galapagos. Then, we headed across the street to the bustling beach, lined with huts offering cocktails, tattoo services, and even a barber shop! ๐น ๐ At Georgeโs beach hut, we enjoyed cold beers and watched some incredibly talented locals practicing their moves on a fitness course built right on the beachโa spot that recently hosted a competition. Their routines were awe-inspiring! ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ This stop was extra special as it marked both our first time in South America and Ecuador, and we were joined by Krista, our first friends and family visitor, on her inaugural port adventure. From delicious local food to unforgettable beach moments, Manta left us with great memories. ๐ฅ ๐ Follow Our Journey in Real Time! ๐ Want to sail the world with us aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey? ๐ข Track our real-time travels and discover each new destination on our website.
