Quiet day...

Raining most of today so an ideal day to stay in and recover from the journey and time difference (+6 hours from Belgium; +5 hours from the UK).

Came up with a general plan for the trip once we are back from the Galapagos and Amazon on 15th February.

Got to know our hosts more - interesting couple with never ending plans for their property here near Quito. They have been able to give us a good insight into real life here in Ecuador. Their dog has (for us) a unique 'ball' - an avacado (today - maybe an orange tomorrow, no end of possibilities in the garden here)!!!

Tomorrow we go on to Otavalo, two hours north of Quito. where we will stay for 5 nights.
