In Quito we were getting up every morning at 7am (preparation for being back at work soon), cooking our own food and not touching a drop of alcohol.
We went to stand on the equatorial line where you can prove your patients to balance an egg on a nail. We also saw the water going clockwise and anticlockwise down a sink on either side. On our day trip to Otavalo we spent all our time and money in the market and after 5 hours we had two huge bags full of clothes, another parcel back to England.
On our last day in Quito we visited Basilica del Voto National, one of the only churches we heard of where you can go all the way up in the bell tower. First we had to go over rickety wooden planks inside the roof then climb up steep steps and ladders to finally reach the top at 78 meters. Phil even stepped outside on a tiny little platform with no fences while Petra preferred to stay inside taking pictures. Guys, if you ever get to Quito, get up there we highly recommend it.
