What goes on tour stays on tour......

Abs - decided that this wasn't one for public consumption..... So have published 'privately' so that no one else can see.

I know that we both thought that the llama hats and gloves were a functional and not necessarily a stylish purchase but seriously, under the crash caps... what were we thinking.

Note to self: Delete photo's of us in llama hats before going home.

By the way, have you used the 'private' publish option before, not sure that I've done it correctly - let's hope I have!

We climbed a volcano yesterday....

After an early pick up and a two hour drive we arrived at the Cotapaxi National Park parking lot, which at 4,500m is the starting point for the hike.

Van to go up, bikes to go down

We hiked slowly to 'Jose Rivas' refuge 4,810m which is on the snowline, then those of us who wanted (and were able) to then hiked a further 200m with our guide to reach the glaciers at 5,000m.

At the glaciers; 5000m

Descending by bike to Laguna Limpiopungo was an exhilarating experience and the scenery was breathtaking.

On the descent......
