Alisa and Adam come to visit

Alisa and Adam came to visit after travelling around Central America before heading back to Australia to live. They arrived and both were feeling really ill, Alisa had a high fever and spent the first two days in bed! We had to take them to the Doctors in Tumbaco where they were given loads of medication and told to rest. Luckily they were well enough to fly to the Galapagos Islands for the week.

They following weekend we picked them straight up from the airport and headed to Otavalo and the Lagunas de Mojanda. It was really chilly so it was great to have fires in the bedrooms. We also had one of the regular powercuts at 7pm so ended up eating our dinner in candle light which was very romantic! We wondered around the market in the morning and picked up some Christmas pressies, then headed back to the hostal. We had planned to grab a quick lunch then head to the lakes but they cocked up our order and we ended up taking over 2 hours to eat, by which time it was too late so we decided to head back to Quito. Tommy and I will have to go back another time and see the lakes properly!



On the Sunday we met up with Ewan and Miranda, played some pool then had a walk down the Canyon and ate in the restaurant at the bottom. The steak was good but not big enough for Adam! It was great to catch up with them, we hadn´t seen Alisa for 3 years! We´ll definitely have to go and visit them in Oz in the next couple of years....
