So we had an admin day, got our laundry done (50 cents a kilo..bargin) went to our very own Chinese (3rd time) and had a few jars with the guys at the hostal...

Hiya So finally we are in Quito. Have to say it was a bit of an epic journey, now let me see, I think Gemma and I left norfolk at about 1230 on the fourth, we finally made it to a hostel (not the one we expected since they don´t take check ins after 11pm) at what would be in uk time 9am on the 6th!!
