Spent a wonderful couple of rest days at the Hacienda Chilcabamba in the northern foothills of Cotopaxi. After a very welcome shower with lots of hot water and a fabulous meal, we got a good night's rest.
Hacienda Chilcabamba
Our guide, Ossie, managed to repair the truck in record time. Whilst he was doing that, Simon and I took a hike to the waterfall we mentioned in our last post. The weather was variable and we treked in both sun and rain with the owner's dogs, Tao and Paxi, named after 2 Inca princesses. The rain failed to dampen our (or the dog's) spirits.

We returned to the hacienda and organized our kit for tomorrow's climb to the mountain refuge on Cotopaxi.
Please continue to help us raise money for Marie Curie! Again, our heartfelt thanks to those of you who have already done so.
Simon and Martin
