Cayambe September 2008

Tom arranged a surprise trip to the volcano Cayambe for my 28th birthday. We went along with Sadie and Leo. We drove for a good 3 hours outside of Quito and stayed in a lovely hacienda. We got up early the next day and started driving up the volcano. We had to stop when we were almost at the refuge because our Vitara Jeep couldn't cope with the boulders in the road.... we walked the rest of the way and hiked down to the glacier from the refuge. Leo introduced us to a local delicacy of intestine soup and dried blood - yummy!
