Well it has been a boring day here in Quito! Instead of going to Bolivia, we thought we would go somewhere else because its too high there for me. We decided we would go to Cuba for a couple of weeks. We found a really good tour cycling around Cuba. We went to the tour office only to be told to book it online. On our way back to the hotel we went past a travel agent who informed us the cost of flight tickets. I can't even tell you what the cost was without w...

Hola! Got up this morning at 9am and had my breakfast in the hotel by half past! I was starving. We met up with the rest of the group from the Galapagos trip and headed for Mital De Mitad (I cannot spell spanish!). We took a taxi to the bus staion and then a local bus to the centre of the earth. It was interesting walking around around and learning the Inca history. Then we done some experiments across the equator. I managed to sit a raw egg on a nail and we watc...

Cash only which I was not bothered about but Kerry was quite upset.   We climbed the Bacillica today and i...

I cannot manage to put any of my pictures online as the computer has now decided it does not like me. I will try again tomorrow. We thought we would go into town for tea however the taxi driver just told us to get out and he left us in the roughest part of the city, in the dark, not knowing where we were! He obviously did not understand where we wanted to go. We got a taxi back to the hostel and have just eaten some chips from down the street. We left the chips...
