vylet do stareho mesta v Quite/trip to Quitos old centre

---

Po vcerajsom narocnom dni sme sa rozhodli vziat to troska viac z lahka a naplanovali si navstevu starej casti Quita, co predstavovalo vela starych domov v spanielskej kolonialnej architekture. Kostoly maly bielu farbu, ktora sa krasne kontastovala s modrou oblohou a Andami v pozadi.

Navstivili sme La Compania, je to najkrajsi kostol v Quite a na jeho vyzdobu sa minulo sedem ton zlata - viz foto.

V prizemi kazdeho domu bol nejaky obchod. Zaujimava vec je ze kazda ulica vyzerala ze sa na nej predava len jeden druh tovaru, kachlicky boli najoblubenejsie a druhy bol nabytok s vecami pre instalaterov v tesnom zavese. To znamena ze tam kludne bolo 15 obchodov s rovnakym tovarom vedla seba.

Tiez sa nam podarilo zohnat bombu na varic, co je radostna novina, lebo to znamena teple jedno na ranajky a ked pojdeme trekovat.

Den sme ukoncili v parku La Carolina a na slapacich lodickach ako spravni turisti.


After yesterdays exhausting day we decided to take it a little bit easy and our plane was to explore the old town. It meant to see lots of old houses in spanich colonial architecture. Churches were always white and it contrasted with the blueness of the sky and the Andes at the back.

We also visited La Compania, supposedly the most beautiful church in Quite, whose interior is covered in seven tons of gold - see photo.

There is some sort of shop on every house ground floor. Interesting thing is that every street is dedicated to a different type of merchandise - tiles seemed the most popular item on one street followed by furniture on the other one and stuff for plumber on the next. It easily meant that you could find 15 shops with same products one next to each other.

Also we managed to get a gas bomb for our cooker - what a great news. Now we can make ourselves a cooked breakfast or a decent hot meal when we are trekking.

Our day finished in La Carolina park and on the paddling boats as proper tourists.
