We didn't expect to be Quito fans. It doesn't have the best reputation amongst travellers, often cited as the place in the (generally exagerrated but nonetheless scary) horror stories you hear. We only had 3 days here but we really enjoyed ourselves. We explored the city and climbed up to the bell tower of the basilica (cue another Indiana Jones moment due to the lack of health and safety!), and ate lots of typical ecuadorian food. Our favourite has been Seco de Chico, a lovely goat stew. You will also be interested to know that Steve has now tried 'cuy' or guinea pig.. (Where will his strange food obsession end I ask!?)
During our time here we have also visited the equatorial line where we entertained ourselves for hours taking all the embarrassing tourist photos! Well it would be rude not to!
So after a whistlestop tour of Ecuador we are starting the last leg of our journey... Columbia. Sun, sea, sand and floods?! here we come. If you don't believe us just check weather.com!
