We got into the Old town on the next bus and made our way to our hostel, the Secret Garden. When we got there the hostel reception was on the fifth floor! After all of our travelling for the last few days we weren´t too happy about climbing the steps to the top floor! But the view more than made up for that!
The fifth floor of the Secret Garden is a terrace with a reception, bar, kitchen and an amazing view right over Quito! We checked in with the guy behind the desk whos name was Marco. We checked in and pretty much hit the beds to catch up on yesterdays sleep!
We got up after a couple of hours and hit the bar upstairs again for Dinner. Dinner that night was noodles and chicken and was gourgeous... We spent the night on the terrace in ponchos, which the hostel supply, drinking and talking to all the other guests...
We met Sam from Australia who was just starting out his travels in South America after spending a couple of crazy weeks in the US. We met Bianca and Christina from Africa and Sweden. Bianca was telling us how we shouldn´t take malaria tablets in the jungle and that we should just wear long sleeves! Interesting! Her friend Christina went for a walk but didn´t make it to the bottom of the stairs because she fell and twisted her ankle! Not a great start to your trip in Ecuador! We ended up drinking around a wheelbarrow/campfire talking to a group of Americans who we would eventually go to Cotopaxi with and having the craic! Quito was turning out to be a good spot!
