Quito, Ecuador's capital, is a surprisingly attractive city. I had no idea that I had taken so many photos when I was there! It's built on and around hills, and has a gorgeous Old Town which is the best part of it. Enjoy! Panecillo Hill stands over Quito, with a statue of the Madonna watching …
When I arrived in South America last year I flew into Quito Airport, Ecuador. This would (besides the insides of a couple of other airports) be my first taste of the continent. Ecuador was my 'gateway' country to South America. Would this prove a good choice? For example, a country like Chile might often be …
Hi all. It's taken an age but finally I'm getting around to writing about Air Bnb. In the last two trips I've used Air BnB five times, twice for homestays and three times to rent apartments. They have been quite different experiences. I'm not sure what took me so long to finally use Air BnB. …
Previous posts – Pretrip, Days One and Two Days Three, Four and Five So it’s time to wrap up the final stage of the tour. The final three days, plus what they classed as ‘Day Nine’, but really shouldn’t have been counted as part of the tour. As I said before. But anyways, when last …

I used to love the whole postcard sending thing. It was a cheap way to send a ‘hello’ back home and let people know you’re thinking of them. You’d gone to all the trouble of selecting a postcard, buying a stamp before writing on it and posting it across the oceans. Even when email became …
Sunday Sunsets stays in the Galapagos Islands. Today, Isla San Cristobel, where you'll see the sea-lions also enjoying the yellow/red glow of the sun going down! Thanks for stopping by - May the Journey Never End!
Last year at the start of October I began my South American Adventure with a visit to Galapagos. I wasn’t really sure how I was going to do it, I wasn’t sure what the best way to visit it was to be honest. It seemed to me that I really needed to consider taking a …
Ecuador has recently got a number of trains up and running, and polished up the service on some of the others like the ‘Nariz del Diablo’ – The Nose of the Devil. This is a good thing. Probably. Well I prefer train journeys that are proper journeys instead of a short tourist ride to be …
