So I went back to Quito after Galapagos on the earlier flight arriving 2.30pm. I was now on my lonesome and will be until home (sorry but Bruce & Angel the teddy bears don't count!). So no one to lead me  and no one to tell me when I'm getting ripped off and what to watch out for! (Hernan I miss you!) So I leave the airport & walk to taxi rank - 'Taxi miss?'. 'Si!' I say to the guy standing at the head of the queue. He puts my bag into a nearby car. ...

We arrived in Quito on the Sunday afternoon and little was open but I had so much to do!!! When we arrived we bumped into the couple who had left the trip in Banos as they were staying at the hostel next door. They gave me a great tip for last minute Galapagos trips, so headed off to the Internet cafe to do some research on that and out to see if any book stores were open to get a Central America Lonely Planet. We were staying in New Town in the Mariscal area...
