Adios Ljubljana, bienvenido Quito
... v bistvu sm prvič doživela tko dolgotrajno turbulenco, da nam do zadnje ure pred pristankom niso upal postrežt kave/čaja zarad varnosti. Lasagno sm pa skor v nos dobila, ampak kljub temu brez problema zaspala vmes. Z manjšo zamudo smo pristali v s soncem obsijanem Quitu in vsi željno pogledovali čez steklo proti mestu. Idilo je umorilo 2 urno čakanje v vrsti na carini, prtljago so pregledovali ...
Middle Earth
... only main city located at zero latitude, the high altitude and good situation for geodetic observations made it own the statute of Earth's center.

The long journey
... went for a little walk, got burritos and quesidillas for dinner and then crashed. On the Saturday morning we met Peter, the man with our van. We spent 3 hours with him getting all the info we needed, a bit of a van tutorial if you will. Then he hopped in a taxi to the airport and we headed for the supermarket to get rubber gloves and cleaning stuff. He told us he spent 5 hours cleaning the van...but, that was the outside...the inside was a mess! So, we cleaned ...
