    Back to Quito

    3. marts 2025, Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    On February 27th we returned from the Galapagos Islands. The next day we changed the car's oil right at the Mercedes garage in Quito. In addition, we changed the fuel and air filters, the spare parts we had brought from Switzerland. Although the Mercedes Sprinter is a fairly common van in South America, many parts are different from those of European models. Not to mention that in South America, diesel models that use add blue are very rare. In Ecuador, Mercedes cars (including the latest models of limousines) only have Euro 3 or at most 4 standards, and our Sprinter has Euro 6 standard. So far Nemo, the Blue Bus, has worked excellently.

    On the first of March, Tobias, Rahel's brother, arrived. He bought an open jaw plane ticket Zurich - Quito, Cartagena - Zurich and came to accompany us. Following our blog and talking to Rahel, he was attracted by the idea of ​​taking part in our adventure even if only for two weeks.    Læs mere
