Hey we are in Sao Paulo

Flew back to Quito, Galapagos Life Hostel for the night. Amazingly our bags are still there after our three week trip around. We made a quick stop to the hospital, to get rid of those damned parasites!

Farewell to Ecuador as we are off again. This time a flight to Lima and then onto Sao Paulo. Our arrival at the hotel was horrible… room not ready, surly staff and filthy dining room. So of course we complained… we were used to clean $10 a night hostels and a crappy $130 per night hotel was just not on.

The manager, was not available till the next day… more complaints from us. Suddenly not only is the manager available but so is our room. Apologies all around would we accept free tours during our stay… “sure” we say.

Having looked at the security on our way in from the airport we think an escorted tour might be a good idea!
