of volunteering in Tsuraku but things haven't exactly gone to plan.
After 3 weeks of feeling pretty average I finally went and saw a doctor
who told me that I have bronchitis and that going to the jungle was a
no no. Apparently the odds of me getting pneumonia there and then
getting really ill are pretty high so I need to rest, take some pills
and get better first.
So we have a few more days to kill in Quito and the mountains before we
head off to Tsuraku. Which isn't so bad because Quito is quite a cool
place with heaps to do. Although drinking is of course ruled out for me
which sucks. But drinking has been pretty banned at our hostel anyway
for a week because some Irish guy went for a run across the roof and
fell into the neighbours place. He bribed a few people though and was
out of jail the next day.
Anyway we're are going to the hot baths at Papallacta tonight which
should be nice and are going to spend a couple of days doing the
quilotoa loop which is meant to be really scenic.
