Emilie ready for the journey
Arrived safe and happy
We are leaving Ambato today. The day is very warm and nice today, I am almost sad to go away, but excited about our plans.
We are taking the bus to Quito, where we will spend the night at Meri's. She told us that the bus doesn't really stop in Quito but in a nearby town. Understanding the way bus networks work takes some time and we realize once in the bus, that it actually won't stop where we want to, but about 2 hours away...
Our trip Ambato-Quito was supposed to take 2.5 hours...We have to change our plans and decide to go to Otavalo directly because it will be shorter than stopping where the bus goes and taking another but to Quito. The girls are doing very well and quickly fall asleep. We left Ambato at 4 pm and we arrive at Otavalo (northern part of Ecuador) at 10 pm. We are actually happier to be in Otavalo already. Galo and I really like this town. It's quiet, very authentic and no ashes!! We go back to the same hotel we went to 7 years ago. Still there, still the same! And we are the only occupants. We are exhausted but relieved our journey didn't end in an unknown lost countryside village tonight :)
