Mitad Del Mundo
Me trying to balance an egg on a nail at the middle of the world...Of course I failed, claimed it was impossible, then Kat and Sophie continued to balance their eggs ithin seconds...grr...obvisously me being a spazz as usual! But I did get to sign as a witness for them....

A 'real' example of an indigeonous house....
And my bum, which does block out the entire door. Just to show how small these ecuadorians really are....!

At the top of the world...in Quito
we're flying high...but the question is, how did I get my hair to do that?

MMM tasty
Im actaully eating a sandwich sat next to the virgin of Quito...

Cuenca!
This was our first exploration of Cuenca, the big blue dome is the new cathedral.

Military Band
can you tell me and Jack are slightly bemused by the fact that the military police just plonked their stuff down, set up shop, and commenced to produce marching music in the centre of town. they were all very serious, apart from the steel pan man, who was getting his groove on!

Watches!
Another Cuenca group activity! Cheap watches...

Television Gigantesca!
This is one of the many huge tv's in my house...and I must say sophie Is doing a fanastic job of displaying it!

There were 7 in a bed...
All conserving their warmth...just look at the layers we're wearing as well..very cosy! This was in a hostel in Ingapirca, with a leaking roof and broken beds and crystal maze style challenges...

Us
With the Inca ruins behind us...and a hail storm about to happen, at which point we ran round like headless chickens looking for shelter...

My and my tongue!
This is literally 5 minutes after we got our piercings done, see I did say how clean and unbloody the experience was!

Firejugglers..
..in the crazy hippy beach town of montañita

Hammock time!
We have discovered a way of fitting two people in a hammock as you can see! here we are in Mindo, the butterfly cloud forest, in our wooden hostel looking out onto a rainforest.

Hehheeh
Kat I love ths pic! Mindo, kat in her tubing gear, its hot.

Hah!
Me in my zip wiring gear, it's even hotter!

My fantastic new massive hoodie!

Chopping wood in Quilatoa
Jack displaying his masculinity...

Walking up the misty road...

Hmm
Little did I know...but I was very nice and warm and sleepy on the beach

Me an Lou on the beach in Playas
Waiting for the sun to set...

Castillo!
Bels first time at the beach can you believe it? So Bel and Kat made a FANTASTIC castle, whilst the rest of us slumped and did nothing...heheh. It lasted all night though and was still there when we returned the next day! there was however a big fat woman sat in it, how you could see it as a seat I will never know...grr!
