First two days in Quito

We’ve spent our first two days in Quito to get over the travel (24hours), adjust to the time (- 6 hours) and the altitude (2850 m). We're already feeling much better, although still in need of a pick me up in the mid afternoon and waking up at 3 am.

The obligatory open top tour of the city helped orientate ourselves and after that we have been exploring a little of this lovely city, and doing a walking tour as well.

Our first attempt at a small beer worked fine with neither of us getting the banging altitude headaches, so far so good.

We’re staying quite close to a modern area with loads of bars and restaurants which is handy but a bit noisy at night. Hotel basic but clean and friendly. Wonderful walking tour of the La Floresta district, an area of older grand buildings, street art, restaurants and coffee shops.

Tomorrow we head of for 3 days in the Ecuadorian jungle.
