Martin, did you call for the porter?
Spent the day with Ossie, our guide making plans for the climbs - still on course to do the 4 volcanoes despite the weather as most climbing will be above the clouds. Vised to Quito for last minute provisions and an opportunity to do a final homage to the God of Kit, Gear and Gadgets much beloved by Simon and Martin. Toured the old town and visited the huge statue of the Virgin of Quito given by Spain as a token of compensation for all the gold they took from Ecuador (not much of a deal as it is made of aluminium!)

All this wet weather has not dampened our spirits. Tomorrow we climb the active volcano Guagua Pichincha to see if the rain has put it out!
Thanks to all the new contributors to our fund raising for Marie Curie. Like your climbers, the momentum is building!
Simon and Martin
