we flew taca which was much the same as aer lingus, apart from the fact you got free food and drink and paid alot more !!We went to the Mongolian BBQ for dinner, which was $5 each and strong cocktails were only $1, still an expensive dinner by ecudorian standards. We booked a Galapagos cruise from the 9th-13th actually was cheaper then we though, it was $100 more to book fir
st class rather than tourist and as it was only bout $20 a day more will probably be worth it. Our room last night was on the busiest street in the world, apart from the millions of people and cars it seems like there was 15 planes flying overhead every minute, I still dont understand who had all the fog horns, so we didn´t get much sleep.We therefore moved to an hostal across the road which is just as nice and half price. Just got to watch the Liverpool goals from the Toulose trashing and hopefully the 6 from earlier will be on the Liverpool FC website later.
Go on the superpool !!!!!
PS: We found out the name of the town that makes Panama hats so we will be paying it a visit on our way to Peru from Ecuador (Ronan Allen)
PPS: Thanks saoirse for Marioland, its keeping Ronan busy!!!!
well exciting times as we headed out of Quito - discovered that DHL charge US$176 to post home less than a kilo of holiday paraphernalia! Needless to say we quickly decided to continue 
lugging the stuff around instead! Went to a fab andy warhol art exhibition (see picture) which was a bargain at only $1 in - we accidentally presumed it was prints and so us taking a photo of the original marilyn picture didn't go down so well!! Anyway we discovered we had missed out on Quitos big claim to fame and tourtist attraction "Mitad del Mundo" so headed out there in search of yet another kodak moment so got to stand either side of the equatorial line! Bus to Baños was absolutely mental (with a conductor literally hanging out the door the entire journey!) and stopped (or more accurately slowed down a little bit!) every 2 minutes (of the 4 hour journey that possibly should have been an hour long!) but we arrived there safely, if a little cold!
