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...

The ´machine from hell´ is what the lady describes a karaoke machine in the book ´Llama for Lunch´ (which was one of the treasures in the bag of goodies I received as a departing gift from work)... <br><br>BUT, I beg to differ!!<br><br>There are hours worth of entertainment to be had with this simple concept and I should know I was at it 3 nights in a row over the weekend... <br><br>Friday was Lorena´s birthday as it ...

... car up to the top of the mountains surrounding Quito. The view was breathtaking and you could see how enormous Quito is. In the afternoon we walked to a large park, La Carolina, where the girls played on the swings etc. We then had a go on two pedalos. Trisha, Rose and I in one and Grace, Sarah, Roger and Ian in the other. None of us would have won a medal for craftmanship but it was very good fun and we had a lot of laughs.<br><br>

... red scanner to check we weren´t disease-ridden feverish swine-flu carriers) and then after a hunt for our bags got into our taxi transfer to the hostel. First impressions of Quito´s traffic: mental. Once we arrived we were shown to our room which is pretty good actually, dumped out stuff and went off in search of something to munch, being starving by this point. We wandered down to the New Town (which we´d passed ...

... blue sky and looking down at the clouds which look like a really comfortable down comforter. I made my close connection! Thankfully, the airline held the plane so that all eight of us on the previous flight could get to Quito. Amazingly, I am already more than half way done with the book I brought. It is the kind of book I like best, it gets you turning the pages right from the start. It has ...

It was a beautiful day today - blue skies, so Maxine and I decided to go to the Teleferico. You got up to 4100m above sea level in a cable car. The views are magnificent. You can see the volcanoes and the way how Quito is situated within the valley and the Andes spectacular. We had a bit of a walk. It was steep in some parts but worth it to see the valley on the other side. There were also horses that you could ...
