Easter Island was amazing. Probably the most exciting place we have been to so far. The island itself was really small, you could see the whole thing as you flew in and you could drive from one side to the other in about 30 mins. We were only there for 4 days but we could of stayed there for much longer. The beaches (although there were not too many beaches) had white sand and the sea was so blue and clear. On the first day we had the afternoon free so decided...

Lima is very different to Quito. Was amazing to see how developed and Americanised the city is. The road from the airport to the city is lined with Las Vegas style casinos.

Had an amazing last week in Quito. We managed to do so much in the few days that we where there. We went to see a town called Otavalo slighty north of Quito which is famous for its traditional markets selling local handicrafts. We also took a trip to a small town called M...

After Banos we moved on (minus Sophie) to a town called Riobamba. It is a larger town than Banos but no near as beautiful. In fact Riobamba was very plain and I think lacked character. We didn´t spend very long here (you really didn´t need too) and on our only full day we went on a trip along Ecuadors first ever rainway line. Our route was called the Devil´s nose route, (which was quite apt as it was rather scary and we were close to near death experiences at ...
