Mitten in der Nacht ging dann der erste Teil meines Fluges, 5.5
Stunden, nach Costa Rica, dort umsteigen und weitere zwei Stunden nach
Quito.
Der Anflug ist aehnlich gestaltet wie nach Cuenca in Peru -
die Stadt ist von Bergen auf ueber 3000 m umgeben und so windet und
huepft man zwischen den BErgen so langsam auf den Flughafen zu. Im
letzten Stueck huepft man dann noch direkt durch die hohen Haueser
durch - ein spektakulaerer Anflug - brrr....
Erstaunt hat mich uebrig...
Die Zeit hier in Ecuador ist vorbei...heute mittag geht mein Flug nach Costa Rica - ein neues kleines Abenteuer!
Gestern
abend bin ich von Cuenca nach Quito geflogen - mit dem Bus sind es 10
Stunden, mit dem Flugzeug nur 35 Minuten - ein gutes Argument fuer den
Flieger. Allerdings habe ich wohl noch nie in einer so klapprigen alten
Boeing gesessen.
Insgesamt fand ich Galapagos wirklich ein traumhaftes Erlebniss und
auch der Amazonas war sehr, sehr schoen. Was die ande...
Hola all,
It has been a hectic few days since I arrived here in Ecuaduar! I am already on my fifth day - time sure flies!! How it all began...
Day 1 - Sydney
I woke at 10 to 6 in the morning after a little over 3 hours sleep and taxied to the airport, bright-eyed and bushy tailed (in spirit), ready for the long haul to Quito. Sat around in the airport for several hours making phone calls, drinking coffee and waiting for boarding time. The plane was pretty good (at least it seeme...
Well, day 2 seems like a long, long time ago now, but was actually only a week ago. V and I have been so busy travelling round that we have been too tired to do more than the obligatory hostel search as and when required when we have internet access.

1st day in Quito. Woke after a pretty good night´s sleep (was expecting to have trouble sleeping, but I guess I was so tired after the 26 hours it took to get here that nothing would have kept me awake). Nothing much...
From aboard the aircraft the first glance of this river of lights sweeping through the valley is one that is simply breathtaking. I am confident that my long day of delays were graciously rewarded with the sparkling of the city lights.
The Secret Garden greets me with an abrupt awakening to the extent of the altitude here. I am tired after 19 hrs of travel. The hostel is an old apartment building spanning five floors with only staircases of various sizes leading you to your place of re...

... br>It's a strange experience following the barrel of a gun pointing the way!
In the afternoon we took taxis again into town. The town was much more lively than it was last Sunday as all the shops were open and it looked very different. We visited the cathedral which was interesting especially the ceiling which was of beautiful fretted wood. We then went ...
It was time to immerse ourselves in some proper indigenous Ecuadorian culture so we decided to check out the famous Quilota loop. Unlike most people we decided just to base ourselves in the city of Latacunga and do day trips to the villages. Most people do a four day circuit but its freezing here at night and we have had our fair share of hitchiking ...

... now and caught the public bus there (which was pretty stinky and crowded but we came out with all our belongings, so not that bad). It was a funny little tourist spot where they had both the original spot that they had thought was the equator by following the sun, and then also another spot where the equator actually is ...

... co se musi zazit. Asi nejzajimavejsi je, ze temer na kazde zastavce naskoci prodejce. Koupit se da prakticky vsechno od obcerstveni az po CD s hudbou nebo DVD s telenovelou. V autobuse hraje lokalni hudba a televize pokud mozno soucasne. Po trech hodinach jizdy za mesto jsme dorazili do cile naseho dne. Mestecko Otavallo je na ceste do Columbie. Mestecko je malebne a klidne. Je vyhlasene svym trhem s vlnenymi vyrobky( alpaka a ...

... shops all along. We decided on a little pizza place where they had $1 Cervezas grande (about 24 oz beers) and amazing pizza. While chowing down these 2 old men ( about 70 yrs old) in full 3-piece suits came in with acoustic guitars and just started strumming away. They then pulled a lady from that was eating and she sang about 7 songs with them. The most beautiful spanish-latin songs you´ve ever heard. We ...
