Quito (gasp!)
We´ve arrived in Ecuador in one piece although our luggage took a bit of a beating (I think American Airlines dragged my bag down the runway on landing to kill the speed). Quito is a lovely city which has everything you could ask for,… except air! The slightest exertion (such as lifting a bottle of beer to my lips) leaves me gasping like an asthmatic geriatric after a three mile run.
We start the spanish lessons tomorrow so expect all future entries on the blog to be in fluent espanol. Hasta manana!!

great news! I’ve heard the altitude can be challenging. Happy breathing!
Robert & Dulcie,
As you know I have travelled a lot, and still find I can get by one just one word that is understood the world over.

Quenches your first and you can actually live of of it for quite some time. Three months might be a stretch, but I would love to give that a go.

ps. It is warm here in the Phillipines. What is the weather like where you are?
Hi both,
Makes our expeditionary force to conquer the untamed wilderness that is Solihull and the hordes of barbarian old Glossopians seem rather tame. But the kids played on the park so all was well with the world. Elise says thanks for the pennies – with her untold wealth she is currently negotiating a small loan to a couple of the countries you plan to visit.
PS: What’s wrong with the big green bit in the middle – only wussies go around the outside!
Happy Wedding Anniversary hope you celebrated in style
Glad to hear you’ve arrived safely.
Not all geriatrics are asthmatic! I have absolutely no trouble lifting a glass of the vino!
There are too many cheeky comments being made!!!!!
Thank you for following us, we appreciate you taking the time to contribute to the blog site.
Robert will update it again soon.
Hi there and good luck as you acclimatise! Have you got your own supply of oxygen – I wouldn’t want you to stop breathing!
Love from Des and I in a temperate climate at a lower altitude though scaling the heights of Gedling Road makes us gasp.
