On Sunday our bus to Lagro Agrio was scheduled to leave at 11pm and so with time to kill we visited the Indios market, the walk along Amazonas, which is the main road through Quito, is nice on a Sunday as it's closed to cars, encouraging 100's of cyclists to take to the road.
After the walk we were thirsty and decided to go for a beer, having completely forgotten that you can't buy alcohol in Ecuador on a Sunday! Our hostel shared the legal loophole with us; if you buy food it's possible to get a drink, a burger and a beer it is - we bumped in to Steve who'd just completed a night hike to the summit of Cotapaxi and was also in need of a beer so the three of us headed to Foch Plaza.
With several hours still to kill, we settled down in the sitting room of our hostel and watched: Eat, Pray, Love - which I hadn't seen before, by no means an Oscar worthy film but a great story with travel at the heart of it.
A very appropriate 'chick flick' for us to watch on our travels.
