From the Basilica to the Devil!

The roads are better in Ecuador, however, the drivers are just as crazy. So with faster cars, buses and lorries we feel less safe than we did in Peru and Bolivia!

Here are some pics from our travels around Ecuador so far...

A vertiginous climb up the Basilica in Quito; we went to the top of the pointy tower that Dee is pointing at....

Cake delivery in Latacunga.

Another haircut...

We hiked a very hard route up to the famous Casa del Arbol (tree house) on the slopes of a volcano in Banos. There is a swing that goes out over a steep drop with Volcan Tungurahua in the background - somewhere in the clouds!

The volcano with a clear sky from the other side of the valley. It's an active volcano but sadly not smoking while we were there!

We had fun exploring the Cascada El Pailon del Diablo (the devil's cauldron waterfall). On one side we crawled along a narrow cave to get close.

There were sloping suspension bridges to cross to get to the other side.

We are off to the jungle now...
