Hooray! We have arrived in one piece with all our stuff. A good start you might say and in style too as we got upgraded to business class. Definitely the life!?!
Quito seems a pleasant city - picturesque, set high in the mountains (2nd highest city in the world), 2800m in fact so we have been feeling the effects of altitude sickness. Everybody here seems pleasant and we have managed to get by on the little spanish we know. In fact the hardest challenge so far was to work out how to write this update as the website was all in spanish!
Fortunately despite me being the only blond haired person I have seen so far, nobody seems to have paid too much attention. Phew! We need to get a bit more of a tan though to really blend in?! We still have to deduce a way to discreetly and inconspicuously take photos as we haven´t seen one camera while we have been here. Any suggestions?! There are many very pretty squares and buildings that need to be remembered. Hopefully the hotel restaurant will come in pretty useful for that? That is tomorrows task. Then we will be heading to the cloud forests hopefully, so until next time take care and have fun . . .
