Quietly Quito

Things have wound down considerably.

The past day and a half has been spent in Quito saying goodbye to my mum, strolling around town and taking it easy. Quito is a beautiful city, particularly the old colonial town (which is dead at night), whilst Mariscal Sucre is all neon lights and loud music and feels a lot like Buenos Aires.

We haven't done much. It's been relaxing, particularly after the frenetic activity of Peru and the Galapagos Islands.

We're off to Colombia next, where we plan to take it easy, top up the tan-age and get ourselves ready to go back to The Real World. That's the idea anyway; whether it turns out like that is another story. Also the weather is looking a bit rainy. But that won't matter as long as they serve rum indoors.
