Quito – Ecuador

rain

In the words of an old pantsy trancer – ECUADOR! (pfftt)
Up and atom for our VERY EXPENSIVE FREE Breakfast then off to the airport – where we were mega early (thanks to me ;) ). We bought some trinkets, ate some donuts, and it wasn’t long before we were landing in Quito, Ecuador. Ecuador has incurred dollarization, which means it’s a lil more expensive than Peru.
Our taxi driver from the airport was blind we reckon as he nearly killed us once and barely avoided tonnes of other small collisions. It was lashing rain all day here in Quito, so we hunkered down in our crusty hostel room (which has a poster of Mickey mouse on one wall and a barely comprehensible message for “Mr & Mrs User” on the other wall – see pic) for a couple of hours and did our laundry. Then headed out onto the streets for some Thai Food. There was trunty loads of people out there, just hanging around on street corners. We unwittingly had our backs turned on an open off licence and off we trotted down the road in the other direction in search of some cheap hooch. He he. We stumbled across some cheap hoochies alright on the way back for the cheap hooch. Then we wrote this. wowzers – the excitement of the day has no end!

Quito – Day 2
After a humoungous breakfast of milkshakes, coffees, eggs, toast, chips, and whatever the hell else we got for 2 dollars each, we bungled off in the rain to book our jungle tour with rainforest turs. It was 160 dollars each and afterwards we spend the rest of the day in Papaya.net doing our blog – putting up pictures and writing enough info to bore the socks off a monk. Later we got cheap pizzas and some wine and watched some wine and watched some Family Guy on our laptop.
