PART 2

Hola Todos!

As most of you probably already know, cami and i have split up, and will be travelling seperately from now on.
But all is well and i will keep you updated on my happenings for the next few months, or until i eventually make it home.
So i left peru a few days ago after spending a week with some freinds, Matz and Elaine, in Mancora. If you guys ever read this- Thankyou, you are amazing.
Anyway so i headed pretty much straight to Quito, in the north of Ecuador to stay with some more freinds we had met in Bolivia. Quito is amazing, it´s surrounded by mountains and is really clean and generally awesome. And they also have some semblance of road rules, which is a plesent change. So, Quito; i was given the city tour by Fer and her friend Sol around the old centre of Quito, which was awesome. Had some sweet empandas, found the secret passageway to a network of tunnels built by some crazy priests and nuns, and did some other stuff which i cant really remember. But all in all a good day.
Yesterday, Fer and i went up to Teleferico, a chairlift up to 4100m, on the highest active volcano in the world (dont quote me on that, but it has awesome views). Ill stick some photos up here later.
Telefonico. Dont you just love the pain of 4100m.
Later Fer, Rodrigo and i drove about an hour west to Papallacta. The most magic place in the world. They are hot springs with healing properties, in case you didnt already know... But seriously there were about 10 pools, a river, and a pool filled from the glacier up on the closest mountain. Anyway, feeling much better, we drove back home with beers in our hands ready for the best hot dogs in the world (according to Rodrigo).
Apparently this place was built from the ground up by some dude who used to sell hot dogs from a street cart on the side of the road. And now he has a bunch of franchises and is really rich. Good on him. But they were awesome Hot Dogs.

Anyway ill update again when i hit Colombia, the salsa capital of the world or so i am told.


Cya later!
