Ilalo - a gentle stroll on a Sunday morning!!!

Ilalo is the volcano situated behind the British School Quito. Our house also lies at the foot of the volcano, on the otherside. I hiked up it this morning with a couple of colleagues from work, Roy and Ben. It was supposed to be a 6 hour hike to the top but we ended up taking over 8 hours! It was great and we were rewarded with some amazing views at the top. We were able to see Cotopaxi, Cayambe, the Illinizas and Pinchincha. We walked down the back towards Tumbaco and then looped back up to rejoin the track we had taken. It was lots of fun - Tommy stayed at home to watch the replay of the test between England and South Africa!
