Papallacta to Otavallo






After a huge buffet (where I may or may not have had 3 portions of food and used up all of the kitchenware), we left the hot springs and got a 2 hour private bus to the Equator. We took many pictures and even visited the 'Fake Equator Museum' - which was a toilet explaining lots of fake Equator stories. From there we arrived at the Santa Fe Hostel, went out for a quick bite to eat, and were allowed to roam the markets for souvenirs and most importantly...blankets. Dinner was at a local restaurant where many of us got a bit frightened by the back light flickering and young children running around screaming. We all went to bed very happy because in the morning there was the prospect of clean clothes.
Love, Maddy Xx

  4. Thoroughly enjoying all the updates and the pictures. I'm still laughing at your guest in the jungle, "Russell the Tarantula". Love the name. Who knows maybe he's managed to sneak into one of the backpacks :). So what has been the most adventurous thing you've eaten yet? Anybody had Guinea Pig yet? Enjoy the last week. Enjoy. Andy Coppin

  5. All looks amazing and great to hear your news. Glad you survived the tarantula and toilets in the jungle! It sounds like a completely different culture and what a fantastic experience. I take it it's a bit cooler in Otavalo if you are shopping for blankets. Look forward to hearing more news. Love Helen and Harold x
