The adventures of 18 members of LaSERIO on an International Service project to Ecuador 2018
Sunday 12 August 2018
Otavallo
Yesterday we went downstairs for breakfast which was eggs and bread, with a variation of spreads. Beija got the star for looking after me while I was sick and everyone went for a quick stroll around the markets. We then went to the markets where we all got to practice our bartering skills with the people who ran the stalls. Some were more willing to lower the prices than others! We all got given 5 dollars to spend on lunch. Most of us went to the same restaurant we went to yesterday but others found new ones which were apparently very good. At 3 we went on a small walk to a waterfall and we all saw an alpaca. We then found out we had enough money to get the bus back so we wouldn't have to walk.......it was a bit cramped. We then went to a restaurant to have a lot of food as we are very hungry. Maddy had 5 plates of food and I managed to get most of the table up to start dancing to the pan flutes 2 men were playing. We then went back to the hotel for sleep.
