(Matt) This is the shortest blog I´ve ever done! We only spent a couple of days in Quito in order to do some laundry and get supplies for our two week volunteer placement in the jungle but we did manage to do some sightseeing. Well to be honest we visited a Cathedral and a Cafe, we plan to return in a few weeks.

Eventually you get to the top in the spire and you can stand on this rickety wire mesh floor

We even met someone who stood on the outside ledge of the Cathedral - who needs health and safety!

Although called a cafe it´s really a restaurant and you can get a brilliant main course for less than 5 quid. The view over the Old Town is amazing.
