Chill & Sunburn in Quilotoa, Ecuador
... going as the road was seriously steep and narrow, only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. The bus passed few rural villages and stopped few times for quick toilet or break, stretch legs and relief to all the sitting pains. Ecuadorian have been so far the most calm, patient people in South America, they are slow pace and even their Spanish spoken were very slow which I can easily catch their words one by one and practise.
