Big Small Journey Off on the adventure of my lifetime: 5 glorious months of sun and snow in South America, then the UK for further fun and frolicking.

In these 13 days I plan to go to the Galapagos Island, leaving tomorrow, back on the 15th. Then, take a night bus out to the jungle. Spend 4 days there, come back to Quito, fly out the next day.

Today I saw a bit of Quito, old town is Colonial, atmospheric, but dodgy. Newtown is pretty, slight bohemian feel, but dodgy too. It's a shame I don't have more time, really wanted to visit the Banos, and do canyoning and paragliding.
