    Quito, Ecuador

    2023年10月8日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Back in the Andes, and bang in the middle of the planet, literally.

    First stop was the Museo del Sitio Intinan.

    The skinny little pole in the pictures is the true equator line. Not very grand right? We'll they have another giant monument as well, 250 metres away... But it's in the wrong spot.

    The museum looked a little cringy and fake. But it was actually a lot of fun and interactive. They do some experiments like coriolis effect with water in one side of the line and water in the other and water in the middle. Another was to try and balance an egg on a nail on the line. If you managed to balance it then you got a certificate and became an egg master... I am an egg master. And some other playful experiments with the line. No idea how sciency they are, but it was a bit of fun.

    Then we went over to the monument which was erected for the "middle of the world". You can climb up to the top and along the way it gives details of the city of Quito , history, people and information on other areas of Ecuador.

    The relentless schedule, the heat of Cartagena, the late nights same the altitude of Quito was all having an affect on us tonight. So we went to the hotel, had a simple dinner in the restaurant and then went to bed early.    もっと詳しく

    Cotopaxi Volcano

    2023年10月9日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    Cotopaxi is one one of the highest active volcanoes in the world and an hour or two south of Quito. Here in the National Park there is a big lagoon as well as the volcano itself where you can walk up to the base camp. I believe the base camp is just used for day visitors now as the climb to the summit is no longer allowed since the volcano is active.

    The base camp is at 4800 metres, there is a road that leads almost up to the top, but it's short 200 metres in altitude. So the rest of the way is up hill walking. As you can see from the pictures, the volcano was covered in cloud the day we were there. Every now and then we would get a peek of the valley below. We started the hike up there, but I found the altitude hard, very hard. We were at a similar elevation in Bolivia, but perhaps it was because we climbed slowly to this height over a few days. But here we came straight from sea level and barely had time to adjust. Or, I'm simply unfit. Whatever it was, the moment it started raining I told Alex that I can't go any further and we went back down. I'll probably regret that decision but it was done. Instead we went to a local restaurant and looked over the volcano that conquered me and pretended we made it to the summit.    もっと詳しく

    Quito Walk and Dinner

    2023年10月9日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    No rest for the wicked, it to explore just a little bit of this city. We were meant to do a bigger city tour... But I ran out of money and the payment declined. Thankfully our planning we've done over the last 6 months have us our own self guided walk around to the different plazas and street art.

    We also headed into Yumbos Chocolate, because it's Ecuador the home of cocoa. Latest findings show that the bean was used in Ecuador long before Mesoamerica. Here I knew they had a free chocolate presentation. I was expecting a small tv and DVD playing a video about the history of chocolate. But I've what it was ended up being a private chocolate tasting and explanation. 6 or 7 different chocolates for "free". We felt obligated to buy some bars ofcourse, but it was so convenient because while we were enjoying that, it absolutely poured down with rain outside.

    We continued around for a bit, dodging the rain as best as possible, until we got to our restaurant that was conveniently on the corner to our hotel. Leña Quiteña.
    Here we tried to be adventurous and get things we've never had or heard of before.
    The white beans with the choizo, not good. The different white beans with the pork belly, not good. The brownish brand, not good. The white milky looking drink, Chicha, not good. Guinea Pig though, delicious.    もっと詳しく

    Journey to Napo

    2023年10月10日, エクアドル ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    Our journey to the Amazon started at heading to the airport at 6am. There we flew to a town/city called Coca where we met with the team from Napo Wildlife Centre. The first stop, which is their headquarters, we signed our wavers and got everything arranged. This is where the rain also started, and not just a little bit, it bucketed down. They have been waiting for this rain for weeks, and it finally arrived ... Yay.

    It's where Alex and I feared that our luck with weather had run out. Of all the places we have been, this was not where we wanted it to rain. Muddy, wouldn't be able to take photos properly, animals would be hiding.

    After waiting a while for the rain to slow, we got into a long motorised canoe and began the next part of our journey. Heading upstream along the river. With the sides down and unable to see much, I think most of the trip we were asleep, it was about 2 hours to get to our next stop.

    Next we left the motorised boat for a short walk to get to the entrance of the National Park, there we got on a paddle canoe. But this stage the rain had eased significantly and it was a beautiful temperature. The water level at this time of year is very low, so there was a lot of scratching and scraping along the bottom of the boat from the exposed branches and logs.

    A magical journey. Here we were being paddled down a river in the Amazon. Along the way we saw a lot of different types of birds, I'm not a bird person so I can't remember what they are all called. We even saw some squirrel monkeys in the trees. Then after another 2 and a half hours of paddling, we got to the mouth of the lake. There we gasped at the impressiveness of the wildlife centre, but our attention was quickly moved over to a large caiman that was infront of our boat to greet us.

    After arriving we went up to get a briefing on the cabins and hotel facilities. But half way through we were interrupted by some big howler monkeys just outside the window. We were definitely in the wild now, and our fears about the weather were unjustified it only made it better. Welcome to the next 3 days.    もっと詳しく

    Clay Lick

    2023年10月11日, エクアドル

    Even in the jungle there are no sleep-ins, actually here it is important to wake up early because that's when the animals are most active.

    So we started paddling back down the little lake for another 2 hours. This is the only way in and out of the centre, everything we see, touch or eat has been transported in using these paddle canoes.

    We had some caiman greet us 'good morning', which is always a nice feeling when you are 2 inches off the top of the water. But then not too far down the river was a family of Giant Otter that had come out to eat and play. Chewing away on fish there were about 4 of them completely ignoring us as they enjoyed themselves.

    Along the way we continued to enjoy the range of birds that were by the banks of the river, flying away as we got near enough for a photo.

    The clay lick was out on the main river, a short distance from the north of the little lake. We change boats over to a motorised boat for that part.

    Due to the weather being a little foggy and overcast, today didn't seem to be a day the parrots and macaws wanted to come down to the clay lick. We stayed for a short time with our fingers crossed. But there wasn't any around today.    もっと詳しく

    Kichwa-Anangu Community

    2023年10月11日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    The community who manages and owns the wildlife centre is the Kichwa-Anangu Community. They are employed to manage the centre and the profits go back to supporting the community and you can see that as there are some new school buildings and a sport centre here which they couldn't have built without that money.

    We went over to the traditional huts, built in there original palm leaf roof and wood style and still used by the ladies today for their daily activities. Greeted by a dance as we entered, we learned about the hut design and the way of life for the community. From cooking, to pottery, to clothing and hunting. We were given some food to try of plantain, palm heart , cassava and even a piece of cat fish.

    At the end we all got up to have a dance, another chance for Alex and I to embarrass ourselves... One day we'll learn to dance.    もっと詳しく

    Second Clay Lick

    2023年10月11日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    Let's try our luck again. This time however it was deep in the forest instead of by the water. So we trekked from the National Park entrance about 30 to 45 minutes before reaching the established area. This looked very different to the other one and was more a clearing in the forest. Unfortunately nothing was there when we arrived, so we started to wait. After a short time we could hear some macaws above us in the trees. We couldn't see them from inside the shelter, but they were there and we were hopeful they would come down.

    But what happened is the monkeys decided to come on by instead and literally they all flew off at once.

    So we went out and got to enjoy watching the monkeys nearby hanging out upside down in the trees. Looked to be a family unit with a little baby on the back of the mother. Wooly monkeys, long orange brown fur and a strong big tail.

    After they left though, we went back to wait for the Macaws and Parrots once more. Most of us falling asleep in the bird hide, a pre-lunch siesta. But that's what we did, we waited hopefully for them to return. Eventually one of more did, but back staying high in the trees out of sight. We could see their shadows as they flew back and forth in the trees above us. It was about 2 hours of this and we figured it was time to leave as it had been too long now. But just as we thought that, one of them came down to the ground to start to drink. Once that first brave, and thirsty, macaw came down the rest began to follow. All up there were about 11 at different moments that came back and forth to have a drink. Smaller parrots also came down, safety in numbers it seems.

    Then as quickly as they came, they left again. And that was time for us to get out of the heat ourselves.    もっと詳しく

    Forest Walk

    2023年10月12日, エクアドル ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Today's adventures were a little more relaxed, so starting a little later to head out for a forest walk. But we didn't miss our friends the giant otters still crunching away on fish as they hung around some tree roots. There seemed to be more today, and they were definitely being louder today.

    A short paddle a little further we entered the forest again, no knowledge of what we will see. I mentioned previously that the wildlife centre is run by the community, as part of that each group has two guides. A naturalist guide who is an expert in the flora and fauna of the region, and a community guide who lives and works in this area. Party of this walk we stopped several times to learn about the trees, seeds, leafs and way they are used in the community. For example the walking palm, that actually repositions itself periodically to get closer to the sun, but this tree has a spiky legs that are used like a grater for potatoes, cassava and other things. We also had a demonstration on how the palm leafs are manipulated and folded to make the roofs of the huts of the centre and traditional homes.

    We saw lizards, and more of the wooly monkeys and other types of creepy crawlies before heading back.    もっと詳しく

    Above and below the trees

    2023年10月12日, エクアドル ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    The last official activity here at Napo was a walk to a 30 metre high observation tower about 30 minutes into the forest.

    At this height it is easily above the canopy and other trees. Sitting on top of a large tree like like platform. We were meant to see toucans, but we ended up seeing everything but. Three different types of monkeys, some macaws flying past, beautiful types of birds with spectacular colours like azure blue and greens, and even some woodpeckers (which was a first for us.)

    We stayed up there for a good hour and a half until the sun set.

    With the sun down though, that means it was dark, and we were still 45 minutes from the centre... So that meant trekking in darkness and that's when we found out what creatures come out at night. So far just moths, but something needs to eat them. The first couple of holes were giant tarantulas, poking a stick at their home made them show all their glory and come out. Nearby was what is called a whipping spider or tailless whipping scorpion with a whole bunch of babies on his or her back.
    Then it was frogs, different types of millipedes, crickets, caterpillars... And that was just the creatures we saw, what about all the ones we didnt...    もっと詳しく

    In the dark ... Goodbye Napo

    2023年10月13日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Sunrise over the Napo River means only one thing, that we've already been travelling a bit over an hour to get here. That is, leaving in the dark and paddle boating down the little stream in the dark. And I really mean dark, I thought they would use headlamps or torches to navigate, but there was none of that. Just the pitch blackness of the night in the forest, winding around tight corners and hearing the scraping of the extremely low water level causing the branches and logs to rub against the bottom of the canoe.

    The only help in the dark that would assist with the navigation was a lining of glow worms along both edges of the stream. Like little stars in the water showing us the way. Unfortunately it was impossible to get a picture at that time of day.

    Like the day we arrived we walked a short distance to get to the motorboat that would take us 80km upstream back to Coca to catch the plane back to Quito. This time it was a bright sunny day which meant we got to enjoy the view with the blinds up. Catching the sight of the river and the people living and working along the river banks this time.    もっと詳しく

    Papallacta Thermal Hot Springs

    2023年10月13日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    A hot springs resort is not the normal kind of place you would find Alex and I for a night. But our travel agent almost insisted on it.. Now after being in the Amazon for the last 3 days, it was pretty obvious why he is so good at his job. Since we were here, we were going to make the most of it with some needed R&R.

    First thing was to have a dip in the 38 degree water fed from natural hot spring water from the underground volcanic activity near by.

    The mix between the cool mountain air and the warm water was perfect. And we had an early check in too so we had the whole area to ourselves to relax in. Then we had a smart idea to go back and forth between the hot pools and what seemed to be freezing cold water pool. Enough to make your limbs tingle.

    Later that night we had reserved some massages. Now I've never had a professional massage, the act of someone touching me like that is way out of my comfort zone. But that's what this holiday is all about. Yes, I'm suggesting that pushing my limits is getting a massage. Haha.

    The first was a deep tissue massage. Before even entering the room I was already uncomfortable as they gave us what was paper see-through panties to wear and nothing more. But we went into the room and they were very discreet. Asking us to lay on the table and cover ourselves with a sheet while they are out of the room. But then the massage began, and deep tissue was an understatement. For little ladies they used those fists and elbows hard on us. If my face was being recorded it would not have portrayed "relaxed", it hurt alot. Alex on the other hand loved it, I don't think they could have gone hard enough for him.

    The second massage was where things got weird. So Ecuador is very famous for their chocolate as we learned. The origin of cocoa and the best in the world. So why not get covered in it with a chocolate body scrub and wrap. This time the entry was far less discreet, being us into the room and telling us to take off the robes and lay on the table. The scrub started off with a rubbing down of what I assume is chocolate with chunks in it. Exfoliating with chocolate it seems, all over. Now that we were friendly, the next step was to have a shower Infront of her to wash it off. I thought that was the end, but it was only the beginning. Laying back on the table, it came the melted warm chocolate. Layering it over us completely by hand from toes to face. Once covered, she then began to wrap us in plastic wrap and then a leather cover over that. Making us feel like some sort of dessert. That's when she left the room and we waited like that, for what seemed forever. Alex said it was 15 minutes, but honestly felt like an hour. Marinating in Ecuadorian chocolate the whole time. But the story doesn't end there, the chocolate has to come off... So she takes us out of the room and down the hall. This is where new prisoners come when they are being checked into jail. Standing there with arms and legs apart facing the wall, she uses a fire hose to wash you down. I honestly can't tell you if this is part of the therapy, or something they do just for their own amusement disguised as a "thermal jet therapy". Occasionally telling us to change to the next position, but with water and chocolate in your face, that want the easiest thing to do.    もっと詳しく

    Goodbye South America

    2023年10月14日, エクアドル ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Emotionally this is going to be the hardest post to write, and will probably take several hours while I stop to wipe the tears from my eyes intermittently.

    At times we have struggled on this holiday. Sore feet, sore heads, trouble walking, trouble breathing, burns, exhaustion, coughs and colds. Difficulties balancing multiple currencies and languages across so many countries.

    We came on this holiday to push ourselves, seize the opportunity and make sure we didn't waste a minute. Seeing this continent from every position possible. Road, rail, rivers, seas, sky... Climbing maintains, trekking through rainforests, struggling through snow, crossing desserts, boating along rivers, exploring modern cities to ancient civilizations, from sea level to 5000m. We loved, we learned, we explored, we cried, we lived.

    Along the way we meet some incredible people. Our exceptional guides who were not there just to do a job, they were passionate about their country and their region and wanted to make sure that we had the best experience possible and made to feel welcomed and loved. Most of which won't know the impact they have had on us. Our drivers who always kept us on time and safe, even in some of the trickiest of conditions. Our friends Juan, Estaban, Sarah, Aymar who we felt like we've known forever even if we only met them in person for the first time.

    We invested everything we had, and also a lot of what we don't, into this holiday to make it more then just time off it's a once in a life time journey. A journey that has changed me, making me appreciate what I have and what is needed to be happy. People we've seen and meet along the way haven't all had much, but what they have is friends, family, culture and love. This has given them all the happiness they've needed everyday.

    We're already on our way to the United States. So our holiday isn't quite over yet. But this place has been special and I've shared those memories with a very special person the entire time.    もっと詳しく

    Downtown LA

    2023年10月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Since border control was extremely interested in a complete breakdown of my itinerary here in LA we thought it was best to follow the plan we told them.

    So waking up early we went to downtown LA to walk around and explore. Starting with Grand Central Market for breakfast.

    Across the road is what is considered "Shortest Railway in the World", a funicular that goes up a step hill for maybe 50 to 100 metres for a couple of dollars. We have the guy some coins we got from Ecuador (They use USD as their currency too) and he immediately looked at them and said "I've never seen these coins before, they are US coins but we haven't used anything like this in a long time". I didn't even consider that it would be different, thankfully he accepted them anyway.

    We did a walk around Grand Park for a bit, it was extremely quiet at this time of day. Lots of little squirrels running around, which was funny to see.

    Walking past the Walt Disney Concert Hall and we went to both The Broad which houses the Museum of Contemporary Art and then the Museum of Modern Art down the road a little way.

    To finish off our downtown explore, we went to a place called The Last Bookstore which seems very safe with how many people were there. Dressed up in Halloween theme it is almost a maze of books and bookshelves.    もっと詳しく

    Paramount Pictures

    2023年10月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    This afternoon was a tour of the historic Paramount Pictures Studio.

    A couple of hours scouting around on a buggy learning about the history of this studio and how the movie industry works.

    It is a gorgeous studio with some beautiful old buildings and gardens that are exceptionally maintained.

    We heard a lot of stories from the lot from their 108 year history. From actors that began their movie career here like Elvis, John Travolta, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, Tom Cruise etc.

    Walking through a big empty sound S
    stage, Stage 5. Then we drove around the back lot to see the buildings that featured the backdrop for many tv and movies. The one we noticed instantly was the head office for Brooklyn 99.

    Finishing at the Props department which had a lot of things from Transformers, Start Trek and old movies to look around in.    もっと詳しく

    Venice Beach & Santa Monica Pier

    2023年10月16日, アメリカ

    Seems appropriate that Quito's Egg Master (me) goes and has breakfast at the infamous breakfast chain, Eggslut. Specialising in a very slim menu of egg based dishes and coffee.

    This was before we walked along Venice Beach. To me all I could think of the entire time was that I've stepped inside the video game GTA5, because it felt identical to that. This was more beach then water, I literally could not see the water from how far away it was to where we were walking.

    It was a casual walk along the beach. It felt a bit strange because it seems at this time of year (?) this part of LA has a fog that comes in over the water, covering the area and doesn't go away until after late in the morning. Which was also a good thing because it kept the shade over us as well so that it wasn't so hot.

    By the time that we got to Santa Monica Pier that had all cleared up and the rides were just about to start opening. We got on the mini coaster and shark spin ride.    もっと詳しく

    IHOP and Hollywood Blvd

    2023年10月17日, アメリカ

    I'm sure a local would roll their eyes to hear we were going to an IHOP, but we're not a local and it was a fun idea to go to a place made so famous on tv and movies. There was a lot on the menu I would have preferred, but we were here for pancakes so that's what we got. We also had to try biscuits and gravy because I needed to know what that tastes like. It all meet my expectations of bland and boring, so I wasn't disappointed 😂.

    Around the corner from there was the Jim Henson Company building. Unfortunately we could not go inside, they didn't have any tours or anything.

    A short distance further is Hollywood Boulevard and the Walk of Fame. We went along here stopping at places like the famous Chinese Theatre. Then we went into Madame Tussauds since we enjoyed it so much in Sydney it was nice to see the Hollywood version.

    Then down the road is a Medieval Torture Museum which was a combination of made devices and was figures. It's crazy to imagine these were actually used, and some even up until relatively recently too.    もっと詳しく

    Oldest McDonald's

    2023年10月17日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Ok so this was pretty random to do and very touristy. Actually I'm not sure if it's touristy since it's absolutely nowhere near any tourist attractions. It took us $100 USD in uber to get there and back (No wonder we're running out of money).

    This is the oldest McDonald's still in existence in the original style of arches. Attached to it is a mini museum of the history of McDonald's early beginnings. The interesting thing to me was they really didn't glorify Ray Croc as a good man. Maybe because they are wanting to distance themselves from him, since anyone who has watched the movie The Founder knows he wasn't the best of people.

    They had a very limited menu, but it felt like the right thing to do was get a Big Mac anyway.    もっと詳しく

    Universal Studios - VIP Tour

    2023年10月18日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Absolutely impossible to complete in one day. Even after a strong plan and a very fancy and very expensive VIP experience tickets. These tickets removed what would normally be over an hour wait to walking straight into every ride. But there is just too much to see.

    The VIP experience gave a special behind the scenes tour of the studio as well, the areas that are still at up from where previous movies were made like Jurassic World, War of the Worlds and Nope. As well as a walk through one of the newest Sound Stages in Hollywood, and the difference between the one we saw at Paramount a few days ago and now was instantly noticeable.

    The trolly (bus) also took us around the streets of the external buildings they use, the street of Desperate Housewives and they have a fake town that theme created where the shark from Jaws apparently "terrorizes".    もっと詳しく

    They made the Simpsons lifesize here, including the pink donut. Walking through the town and stepping into Moe's Tavern to see Barney while Chief Wiggum was outside crashed into the light pole.

    The Simpsons Ride was a static coaster that has a huge screen in front of the coaster as it moves, making you feel like you are riding it. It combines movement, air, water, and really made you feel you were riding the coaster in the dangerous Krustyland Park somehow.もっと詳しく

    Rushing through the front gates of Universal we headed straight here to go on the Mario Kart ride. It's at the complete other end of the park so it took about 20 minutes of walking to arrive.

    But this place is so cool, with all the movements and especially the sounds. You buy a wrist band (because they need more money) that you can then use to trigger bricks and different games around the area.

    The Mario Kart ride was so much fun, it's a AR based ride where you travel along in the kart aiming to earn 100 coins by following the directions of the course and shooting shells at the enemies. So much fun it was a shame we only got time to do it once.    もっと詳しく

    Alex's favourite theme park ride is the Harry Potter ride, he had the opportunity to do it in Florida many years ago and was really excited to do it again. And once more it maintained its favourite status, the only ride we went on twice.

    The rest of Hogsmeade was also huge and created with such amazing detail in every part. You can buy a wand that you get individually fitted with at Ollivanders and then you can go around casting spells to make things move out light up if you get the spell correct.

    Universal Studios - Halloween Horror

    2023年10月18日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    Halloween is a two month event at Universal and my goodness so much effort and organisation goes into running this park during the day and then switching it over to this incredible Halloween spectacle at night. With what must be hundreds of performers throughout the park making it come to life.

    Wandering around the street are dressed up ghouls and creatures with a single purpose to frighten you as you walk down the dark streets filled with bursting flames and lasers.

    Then through the park there is like a dozen Halloween mazes that you walk through for jump scares. Disorientated on purpose as you walk through pushing the dividers open only to be greeted with something popping from the wall with a loud crash or scream. We only managed to get through every maze with another VIP experience, aptly named the RIP experience. Which we were taken by a guide and shuttled on a cart to each of the locations where we immediate skipped all the queue and went straight in. Without that, I saw the waiting times on some of these were 90 minutes. Which for a 5 minute maze, would be very disappointing.

    At the end of the night, we went back to where the Waterworld event was on and they did another spectacular show. The explosions and lasers being enhanced by the darkness. This time we stayed out of the wet zone though, still seeing from 5 hours earlier.

    With so much going on so quickly it was difficult to capture pictures. But this was an incredible way to experience Halloween in USA and we had so much fun doing it.    もっと詳しく
