Ecuador - Quito

The capital nothing really massively exciting other than this is the Largest city in the world closest to the Equator. Only real story i have here is that we arrived here at 4am half asleep and extremely grumpy. I had left my only 5 panel Cap on the bus. Not realizing until 11am i ran back to where we had been dropped off. Luckily the bus was parked up and the driver was taking a bath in an Oil drum..... Thankfully my cap was exactly where i had left it....Phew
Unfortunately for Jade though she left her 6 day old Brand new Digital Camera underneath the bed! 2Once again a tone of lovely pictures gone.... But we wont mention that bit....

Ecuador - Isla de La Plata (The Poor man´s Galapagos Islands)

If you don't know already the Galapagos Islands can cost upwards of $1000.00 to visit this wonder of the world, where no creatures afraid of man and will never run away. This time it was out of my budget & time frame... so I had to settle for a little less... But i cant take it away from La Plata how wonderful this place was.
