Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 395 (205)QuitoThursday 7th April (2005) With a little bit of a nudge from Sandy (although I’m lying about the bit about it being little), I dragged myself out of bed this morning. Since we didn’t need to check out until noon and weren’t scheduled to be […]

Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 396 (206)QuitoFriday 8th April (2005) Perhaps it was the alcohol that was adversely affecting my senses last night but I didn’t notice the fact that my mattress was slightly leaning to one side until early this morning.

Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 397 (207)Puerto AyoraSaturday 9th April (2005) The wake-up call sounded at shortly after ridiculous o’clock this morning but with a long day of logistics and, hopefully, travelling ahead of us, we forced ourselves out of bed and into action.

Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 398 (208)Puerto AyoraSunday 10th April (2005) With it being such a late night last night, we chose to sleep in this morning as opposed to getting up early enough for breakfast. By the time we had mobilised, we were starting to wonder just what to do […]
