Uploading pics failed I'm afraid ... the internet connection was too slow. I'll try again at another internet cafe.
Amazon jungle was a fantastic experience. We stayed in an ecolodge - it had no electricity and was lovely and peaceful, with just the sounds of the jungle at night. Went for a trip down the Amazon and had a go at tubing down the 'rapids' (which were pretty tame). We also had a bit of a walk in the jungle and visited an animal refuge - so now I have hundreds of pictures of monkeys.
Now in Banos, a spa town south of Quito. Arrived yesterday and tried out the baths and then took the 'chiva' (party bus) up to see the night views over the town ... it was an interesting experience. Went for a short hike this morning followed by a massage. They're really cheap here, so a few of us thought we'd indulge ourselves.
Tomorrow we're biking to the waterfalls in Banos and then moving on to Riobamba. Apparently there isn't much to do there; it's just the stopping of point for the Nariz del Diablo train ride that we're doing the following morning.
