Hiya - so exciting day- which I´m gonna bullett point coz I´m knackered

1. I now properly have no money, because we just booked our trip to the galapagos - we go on fri for a week, how cool. We´re gonna fly there (air sick??) then we´re gonna get a hostel for a night and then we´re gonna spend 6nights on a boat (sea sick??) well you only get to do it once right!

2. I had ecuadorian chinese food (which for the record is nothing like chinese chinese food or english chinese food. - but it´s cheap as chips, and includes chips - not optional, it´s a must have)

3. We went on a bus ride - which was exciting coz we didn´t have a scooby what was going on but we got to our destination - getting home however was a slightly different matter. (and I suspect I have a better sence of direction than Toby - but don´t tell him I said so)

4. We went to the Equator the one thats not actually the equator (the equator park - they got it wrong apparently) and the real one - which is much less well known and about 150yds up the road and much more interesting, I balanced an egg (eventually) and got the ok from the Guinae pigs (they´re magic) and saw a shrunken head (ewww) and learnt about all kinds of plants and stuff and saw a penis fish (read up about that boys) and saw some real humming birds (but i didn´t know what the tune was) and I discovered that I am much weaker on the equator!

Anyway thats about it!

Love ya Abs

Oh also I found out that I am much better at french than I ever expected! Everytime I wanna say something in spanish I come up with it perfectly in French - not all that helpful but a lesson learned either way!
