Im heading off tomorrow on our first day of travel to a place called Otavalo for the day and then off to Tena the next. Its a 3 hour drive tomorrow but it{s going to be abou t11 the day after so that should be interesting i think...

The people on the tour a cool, 3 ozzies, a south african, a brit and an irish girl who actuall y lives in christchurch and works as a travel agent. She knows the girl i booked through. Random huh. Only four of us are staying in the bus for the whole 6 weeks and 4 are finishing it. When we get to the half way point 14 others are going to join us for the last 3 weeks.

We went out last night to a club down the road and had a good laugh. Beers range from 60 cents to $3 if you are unlucky. Everybody dances, nobody is sitting around unless they are trying to get drinks or into some pants...

Taxis are about $15 for 30min worth of driving so not too bad really.
