hello everybody have had a pretty eventful first week here in Ecuador. We arrived in Quito but decided not to spend too long there and moved onto the cloud forest where we had a few very chilled out days at the magic roundabout which is a hostal set in the middle of nowhere with lots of amazing views. From there we had booked a jungle tour so we headed off to do that, which was an experience to put it lightly. Had some good times but was generally 4 days of hell; cockroaches, mosquitoes, too much rice and eggs and some very odd family dynamics within the so called jungle community who had hi-tech mobiles and gold watches. Strange very strange!!! Back in Quito now for a few days of spanish lessons. here are some of our photos.....enjoy!
