A day in Quito
... am I suppose to know? We had parked infront of a place called Imperial Hostel, it looked clean and I was tired, so that´s where I chose to stay. Expensive for a hostel, $20 a night, the place was pretty nice. In the morning a nice woman and her daughter provided eggs, a cheese sandwhich, juice, and some coffee for breakfast.
On my to-do list for the morning was find the bus terminal and buy a ticket to Manta, where I would have my first 2 weeks ...
Typisch Ecuador!
... schon wieder fahrenden Bus aus!
Als wir schliesslich im letzten Bus des Tages nach Otavalo sassen, hatte Flo wieder Fieber und ich war, sehr untypisch fuer mich, am Heulen.

Then it got really hard ! We were aware that the final section involved some kind of scrambling but we weren't quite prepared for the vertico inducing, really steep section at the end of the hike. At times there was even a fixed rope in place (don’t proper rock climbers use those?). By the time we reached the summit ...
Que chevere Quito!
... The next day we took a Teleferíco up to Cruz Loma (4100m) which is part of the Pichinhca volcano west side of the town.
Up there you realize how big Quito really is! It's huge with its 1,5million people.
We also made the first tourist mistake of sitting in the sun without sun block and you could tell by the end of the day. People were staring us gringos for the next few days - not to mention when ...
