Quito Resorts All-Inclusive - Reviews and Rates

After breakfast we strolled down to the Secret Garden Hostel for our 4 hours of lessons. It was long overdue, we have had no lessons since Mexico nearly eight weeks ago. We spent some time revising and learnt some useful new structures. I felt I understood most of what was said, Christies conversational skills are really very good.

Arrived In Quito.... Breathless.... Could be from the general excitement of starting off on seven months of travel and going round the world for the first time, but equally could just be because this place is so bloody high! The city sits at the same altitude as a substantial alp and the hill above the town is higher than Mont Blanc!

....havent been updating much since seems like things sort of have just gone more or less the same way this week... I finished my clinical experience with quite a moment there...we went into the surgical unit and there was a guy just shot in his head...they just decided they wont operate the guy because it is too expensive and he ¨probably will ...

Bienvenidos folks After stop-overs in London and Miami, Gian and I got safely to Quito last night - with our luggage. It's funny that the airport in Quito is more technologically advanced than Miami. Sucked in yankees. We went straight to our hostel, after about 18 hours flight, you can imagine that we were pretty fried and went to bed immediate...

Hello for the first proper entry.. Well all ok so far. Apart from having to waiting for about 2 hours at Quito airport for my backpack to arrive. My flight was late landing into Miami so I was pegging it about to get to the Quito flight, as I had to clear US customs and immigration with a million other people and had 40 mins before the flight le...

For those of you who have replaced reading novels with this blog I thought i´d put a little entry in for today. Claire isn´t here proof reading over my shoulder so should the spelling not be right, tough. Claire is actually back at out host family reading through her Spanish notes as she had a lesson this morning. I should explain that im not ta...

I promise that this will be the last -silly little girl with a boyfriend- post. For those who are wondering what he looks like...well here is a link to his old band from Argentina doing a demo. They´re called Proyecto X. If this link doesn´t work, just go to www.youtube.com and search for ´proyecto x.´ He is the guy with curly hair, a black long...

Well, i´ve made it to Quito, my first stop in South America and the beginning of the second part of my adventure. If that doesn´t sound like a big deal then let me just fill you in on the journey I embarked upon to get here. It went as follows: Denpasar-Sydney-Auckland-Santiago-Lima- Quito. I think i was in transit for about 48hrs but crossing t...

I've been kind of tongue-tied the last couple of days. I know what I want to say to people, but the Spanish words won't come to me. Today I had trouble asking for a stamp for my postcard. Wow. Estampilla....I couldn't think of estampilla. My teacher wasn't at school today because she had an interview at the Embassy to try to get her visa so she ...

We arrive at midnight exhausted by many hours spent travelling. Our jounrye here was fraught with delays and missed connections and brought back phrases from one of my favourite movies, Enchanted April "We're in God's hands now, Lottie!", when the Lottie and Rose, abroad for the first time, step trustingly into a carriage they hope is taking the...
