In Quito!
I´ve made it to Quito in one piece! Was absolutely pissing it down when I arrived and didn´t stop until this morning. My hostel is lovely, full of friendly people, was chatting away within one minute of arriving there. Such a nice big group of people from all nationalities. Have been picking their brains about where to go and what to visit and am seriously considering doing the galapagos, even though it costs a fortune - am going to hunt around for a good deal today. In the meantime, am off with my new best friends Emma, Robyn and Donal to the Ecuator line today (I think you just straddle the line so you´re in two different hemispheres at once) Not that struck on the idea (how good can it be?) but everyone says it´s quite the experience. I reckon it´s just going to be like going to Greenwich and standing on the GMT line, but anyway, should do it whilst I´m here. Quito itself looks very pretty, a few army people around today, don´t know why, but seems reasonably safe.
Sounds more like standing near the equator at mid day, no shadows - ask your dad - I hope you didn’t mind me giving Steve your address we are all enjoying your adventure with you love GM

Hello sweetie good to see you’re having a great time; haven’t really heard of Quito before but doing the Equator thing is something to tell people ‘been there done it’ if nothing else. Hope you’re taking lots of photos. Love and xxmummy PS I’ve emailed also now you’re out of Peru I shall try to text again
