Unfortunatly (for fortnuatly if you are getting bored of me already) the last post was unnaturally short as we only had a 15min stop at the internet cafe. Normally, I write quite a lot - this is mainly becasue I crave news from home and from freinds whilst I am away, as (believe it or not) I miss England and I miss you guys. And becasue I crave news from others, I assume (maybe mistakenly) that you guys crave news from me as well!! If you don´t, well you can pick and choose what you read!!!
To be honest I wasn´t all that impressed with Miami. It was ok as far as beaches adn restaurants go but after 2 days and then a 50min wait in a sweltering heat for the airport bus I was pretty glad to leave!!
Next on the long list of destinations: Quito, capital of Ecador. We flew in from Miami and got here on Thursday night. It is a very pretty captal city and as it is at an elevation of 2800m, we planned a couple of days here to aclimatise to the hight. The city is (naturally) surrounded by mountains and nice high points from which to admire it, including, as I called it - the telephone ride, a cable car up to 4100m, giving an awesome view of the whole city which we went up this morning. Amusingly there was also a fun fair at the bottom and Jon went go-karting!
In the few days we have been here we have investigated both the new town and the old town, the old town is prettier (and safer at night) so we have spent quite a while here. Having coffee in pretty squares or over looking nice views, viewing (and in some cases doing dangerous climbs up) churchs - it really was dangerous, I will add pictures later!! And just walking down the streets. Oh, and naturally eating food!! Set lunches are like $2 for three courses and a fruit juice, it is awesome!!
Hope that wasn´t too boring... send me messages, I love it!! If you send me messages in the comments I may reply too if you are lucky!! Thanks for the comments so far!!
Love Aims

not that bad reading what you are up to. though I am wondering when exactly I will eat my heart out.... for now I am fine as am a bit ill with the flu and therefore no energy to go ripping said heart and eating it...
happy to hear about the fun, due to my "extensive" travel experience, I kind of have a good idea of how it is going. keep your eyes open for random places for me to teach english when the time comes :P
mwah

Just kidding... We need a pic of Jon go-karting because it would be hilarious ;)

Hmmm Quito sounds a bit like one or two quaint spanish cities I've seen - perhaps worth a visit methinks - all is well at home - weather in UK still changeable - had some hot days, some wet.
Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Love, Dad

hello Amy we sent you a message but I think it's at the end of your Hanningfield data.Hope you are both enjoying the sites, have a great time love G&Gxx
Hi Aims, Ian here (Nanny Janes Ian that is). This doesn't seem to be your usual trip! you would normally be doing lots of the crazy and exiting things youo are writing about, but so fary ou have just looked and said that's dangerous! Are you just building up to something or is there a game plan in there somewhere? Still, I am glad that you are enjoying yourself and glad that the only mishap you have had is a cold and a bad tummy for a day. Mind you freezing in snow and then is hot water the next. Is there some coincidence you gat a cold?? I think not!!
Well Jane and I are off to sunny SA this week, so Jane will have lots of pictures and video to show you when you get back. So don't expect the monopoly on that!
Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep both safe and well. We will both look forward to seeing your stuff when you get back home.
Love Jane and Ian
