We have just left Otavalo behind and are now travelling toward Banos where we’ll arrive someone this afternoon and make our first bush camp.<\/p>\n

The day before yesterday we left Quito, had lunch at the equatorial centre on the way to Otavalo.<\/p>\n

In the evening we had our first bus party, everyone gathered at our hotel and we had a few to many drinks \ud83d\ude42
\nThe Pelle bus won this one I would argue.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we had all day to explore the town. Otavalo is a real nice relaxed place, which felt good after Quito where you felt the need to keep looking over your shoulder all the time.<\/p>\n

I went walking to a waterfall just outside town with Andreas, Dick, Paula, Maria, Ann-Mari and Katarina.<\/p>\n

On the way back we split\u00a0 up. Paula, Ann-Mari and I went to a little place where we got our 1.75$ lunch, soup and then chicken with rice and potatoes.<\/p>\n

After lunch we walked back to the hotel through the town and I ended up staying at the hotel reading my book before we went out for dinner around eight.<\/p>\n

Went straight back to the hotel after dinner, did some packing and then to bed.<\/p>\n

Today I woke at 0635, had a cold shower, the hot water here seems to have a life of its own, coming and going as it pleases.<\/p>\n

Our next stop was Banos<\/a>, the extreme sports capital of South America, and then Rio Bamba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The first leg of our South American Adventure took us to Otavalo, a small, relaxed and nice town set in some beautiful scenery. A really nice change after being in Quito a few days.<\/p>\n
