Following our adventures in the Amazon, we spend one more night in gritty Lago Agrio before heading back to Quito. Rather than taking the night bus, we’ve decided to travel by day and break the journey in Papallacta, which we’ve heard is one of the best natural spas in the country – just what weContinue reading “Gracias Ecuador”

What is the first animal that comes into your head when you think of the sea?
The other day we set off on our tour and I sat in the back of a truck. We arrived at the reception and went to try on a snorkel and flippers, then we hopped back in and arrived next to a boat. 45 minutes later we were surrounded by rocks. We jumped off the boatContinue reading “What is the first animal that comes into your head when you think of the sea?”
Amazon – Recipe of the Jungle
In the Amazon jungle there are two tribes but I will right now tell you about one tribe. This type I like to call head shrinkers. The other tribe I have not thought of a name and I am thinking of it right now while I’m doing my blog. This tribe shrinks heads through aContinue reading “Amazon – Recipe of the Jungle”
Ecuador – The. Amazon – that’s a record!
Dad said to me that just him and me were going to the jungle but then it turned out we were all going to the jungle. But I still think I’m going to like all the parrots and the snakes and sloths and tarantulas, so I think I’m going to like it. Dad said IContinue reading “Ecuador – The. Amazon – that’s a record!”

Ecuador- Darwin’s theory of evolution.
No two creatures are exactly the same. Let’s say, if you had any brothers and sisters, just look at them for a minute and compare them. Is one nicer than the other? Is one a bigger shape ? Do their ears look the same? Are some smarter? The more you look, the more differences youContinue reading “Ecuador- Darwin’s theory of evolution.”
Ecuador – The Power of Paint
One last week in Quito and now I am beginning to regret that we didn’t have just another 10 days here. Friendly taxi drivers are in disbelief when we tell them we haven’t been to Banos or even seen the volcanoes, and there’s so much to do just in Quito – wonderful museums, streets toContinue reading “Ecuador – The Power of Paint”
A Tribute to Nepal – in memory of Shafru
Our last glimpse back on Shrafu 2014 Karma – one very special man – The Langtang range in the background. It’s not until we return from the Jungle, that we realise the significance of the earthquake in Nepal. We are completely stunned, as we watch the footage on the BBC and the full story emerges. KathmanduContinue reading “A Tribute to Nepal – in memory of Shafru”
