Alton Towers
For 25 cents in Quito you get to experience the ultimate thrill ride, known locally (and deceptively) as El Bus. This white knuckle adventure will be forever linked in my brain with intense BO, sardines and pure fear!! I´m convinced the driver used a neat corkscrew manouver to navigate one of the bends, yet the locals remained nonchalantly unfazed.
Fortunately now our lungs have expanded and we can make it up a flight of stairs without needing to call an ambulance. Here´s a picture of us at 4,100 metres with a breathtaking (literally) view.
I´m going to sign off this blog entry quickly as I´ve just noticed that the guy next to me in this internet cafe is logged on to hotjocks.com and I feel a little uncomfortable. I hope Dulcie comes back from the loo quick!!
