Still in Baños

Wend rafting yesterday. I have to say, it was a lot easier than last time when there was only two of us in the boat paddling. This time there were seven people and we shot down the river in half the time it normally takes.

The sun has also finally come out! We´re still quite high up in the mountains so it´s not crazy hot. But it is nice to finally get back into the shorts!

Baños

Adios Quito!



Escaped from Quito and I´m now in a place called Baños. On the way here, we passed a volcano that started errupting. Very exciting!

Here there are hot springs and baths (hence the name...).

Flights to the Galapagos booked. It´s all coming together.

Around Quito old town.

Went exploring around Quito old town the other day. They seem to have quite a surplus of churches.






And here´s the residence of El Presidente:



Hopefully a few of us will be heading to a place called Baños this afternoon. This morning I´m trying to book my flight to the Galapagos islands, but it´s a Sunday, so I´m not sure how much success I´m going to have...

Ecuador!

Flew in last night to Quito, Ecuador. It´s pretty high up so we were still flying through the clouds when we came in to land. Little bit surreal.

Haven´t quite found my feet yet. Think it´s going to take a few days to get into the swing of things.

Washington DC

London was pretty hectic. Wedding anniversaries, catching up with people and stag weekends. I need a holiday after all the excitement.

Now in Washington DC for a few days. Will be heading back down South on the 18th to carry on the adventure.
