Holidays seem to be hard work, up at 5.30 to spot some birds in the highlands of Quito. We travelled by bus to a national park, Antisana, with a fantastic view of the highest active volcano. On the way and on the way back we managed to spot Condors flying. Once we managed seven at the same time. In all there are 100 Condors in Ecuador, so we must have seen 10% of them.

We saw all kinds of other birds including the giant humming bird. Back to the hotel and beers and dinner in the restaurant.

Rosemary went to a traditional craft market at Otavalo, where she bought some water bottle holders, and wished she’d seen the condors instead.
