04/06/2019 – Recovery day, Quito, Ecuador

We woke up to a Facetime from mum who was at Anj’s house. We had a catch up but our wifi connection was pretty bad so it was only quick. After an amazing, but busy last week or so, and with being at altitude again in Quito we planned on taking today pretty slow. We picked up our laundry, and then went to a coffee shop ‘Honey’ on Plaza Foch – the square near our hostel, for some breakfast and better wifi. We ordered our food and then when we asked for the Wifi password, were told it was broken! This lead to breakfast being inhaled twice as fast as normal.

Once we had finished eating we moved across the square to another café that had some working internet. We ordered some more coffee and then settled into our own little nook for the rest of the afternoon. We caught up with mum and dad, as well as Trudie and Pete, and then set to work updating the blog and adding photos, as well as putting Instagram pictures up and responding to some birthday messages. We had been off grid for the last week on the boat, so had a bit of catching up to do. After a bit too much screen time, when we started to go cross eyed, we dropped our bits back to the hostel and then popped to a Mexican restaurant round the corner for a quick bit of grub. We had fresh strawberry juice again – it is so good! Then we went back to the hostel and got tucked up early for some tv and a big sleep. As we drifted off we could hear some street performers playing the panpipes outside our window!
