Scratch the last post, its absolutly freezing here! We climbed Guagua volcano today which is 4200m and covered in snow up the top. It was great but the whole place was covered in a blanket of cloud as its the rainy season at the moment, so we couldnt see down into the crater. Luckily the rain kept off as we were up there though, however theres terrential rain now. Got my first taste of altitude sickness last night during dinner, it tends to come on fairly quickly after a few drinks! Here in Quito until sunday and then plan to get a bus down to the coast for a few nights. Looking forward to a bit of warmth...
