Exactly! A similar thing happened to me while hiking to Macchu Picchu a week before this trip - I met a Peruvian tourist who knew a whole bunch of bollywood movies from the late 1990s. There seems to be no way to explain this mystery! Quote:

Initially I was worried about the security of the car, more so as it was a rental. Later - after reaching the place and parking it seemed a waste to spend 20 dollars for 8 hours of sleep and I was not sure if it was practical to check out at 6 am in a quiet hostel like the one I saw where reception was not manned at all times.

If you mean my time in Ecuador - plan B was to take a bus from Quito for the five hour ride to Tulcán on the Ecuador-Colombia border and cross into Colombia for the night, returning the next day.
Plan C was to take a bus to Riobamba (6 hours) for a view of volcano Chimborazo. |
