Hi! Just a little note while i am on the net to say hello... just about to get on a plane to take me to Quito... where i will quickly drop my bag off at the hotel where my tour for galapagos starts in a few days time, then hopefully find a bus that will take me to Otavalo ready for an early start at the markets tomorrow (have already booked a cheap little B&B for tonight)! Exciting stuff.
Had a last group drink last night and then had dinner with Gabby, Rob, Sarah, Mike and Carmel - was very yum! During the day I wandered around with Mike and Sarah... Sarah got Paddington Bear (he came all the way from deepest darkest peru - never knew that - he was orphaned cos his parents were in an earthquake and he lived with his aunt lucy - who i met yesterday as well :) And his aunt lucy sent me over to UK when she had to go to an old bears home - very sad indeed!). Anyway as we were wandering around this mad homeless woman attacked Sarah (as sarah was ushering me into a shop telling me to mind my bag cos the woman looked crazy) - she scratched sarah down her back with something - pretty yuck. The shopkeeper was really nice and went to the chemist to get a bandage and alcohol to clean it, and locals stopped and helped Mike talk to the policeman about what had happened (cos of the english-spanish barrier) - so apart from that lady the people were great! Anyway better go so about this plane business! Later!
