Caliiii ✨✨✨✨
28/2/23 I said my byes to Narja, who was flying to Medellin for a final few days before flying home to London and then headed out for breakfast, which I found in a bakery. A Dutch girl had come to tell me that she did want to share a taxi with me to the airportContinue reading “Caliiii ✨✨✨✨”
Turning 28 in Otavalo ✨
24/2/23 I said by to Martin at the bus stop and then got my bus back to Quito. There I had to change bus terminal and take another bus to Otavalo, where I would meet Narja, another Mompiche friend I had re-met in Banos weeks later. I got a taxi between the terminals and gotContinue reading “Turning 28 in Otavalo ✨”
Quito catch ups & Mindo mooching
21/2/23 Happy Pancake Day! Today was a day of pals. After a hostel breakfast, first I headed out in search of jeans, since Ais had kindly pointed out that my jeans had seen better days (which they definitely had!), and I wanted to look half decent in Colombia, a place where people truly take prideContinue reading “Quito catch ups & Mindo mooching”

Amazin’ Amazon 🌴🐒🌿🕷️🌺🐬
14/2/23 I woke up on my bus, which was emptying out to find I would not be in the bus terminal at the right time to take my connecting bus. Luckily, I had data to inform the hostel who I booked through and find a number for the lodge. I got through and made aContinue reading “Amazin’ Amazon 🌴🐒🌿🕷️🌺🐬”
Killing Quilotoa Loop 💪
11/2/23 Today I was starting a three day hike, the much talked about Quilotoa loop, starting in Sigchos and ending in Quilotoa after walking by the infamous turquoise lake. After checking out, I headed to the bus station alone. I knew a few people were probably going from the hostel, including my German roomie, butContinue reading “Killing Quilotoa Loop 💪”
Banos – scrambling, rafting and waterfalls
8/2/23 Today I was meant to cycle to the waterfalls. It was meant to take a few hours, but I woke up exhausted and really didn’t fancy it. Instead, after I enjoyed a slow breakfast of avocado on fresh bread from the bakery and my coffee that I still had left from Galapagos, I headedContinue reading “Banos – scrambling, rafting and waterfalls”
A really rather windy volcano 🌋
5/2/23 Today I had my final glorious breakfast at the Guillerminas hostel, but decided against the eggs since I think it was the eggs the day before that had made me ill. I had avocado toast before packing and resting and ensuring I was psyched up for my bus. On the bus, I gazed outContinue reading “A really rather windy volcano 🌋”
Cuenca’s coffee and cake, and the Cajas 🗻🚶🏻♀️
(Living deliciously, but with the shits) 👀 1/2/23 Today I had breakfast at the hostel and got talking to an Aussie guy, Robert, who had Italian family, for quite some time. I didn’t have any real plans for the day apart from the walking tour, but the tour hadn’t got back to me to tellContinue reading “Cuenca’s coffee and cake, and the Cajas 🗻🚶🏻♀️”
