Random appearance of Bender from Futurama at our hostel in Otavalo... it was so unexpected we needed a picture. Naomi, a lovely girl from the UK is in there as well.
One of the many packed streets in Otovalo
The waterfall outside of Otavalo
So we were trying to get back to the city after Mitad del Mundo, and we hoped on a bus that went to Quito only it sorta went the wrong way around this mountain (well, the wrong way for us) and then went up to the top of this big hill in Quito which is the location of the ´Virgen on the Hill´. It´s supposed to be a statue of the Virgin Mary as an angel. It´s hard to show properly how huge it is, but you can see it from everywhere in the city. This is a major tourist stop but we hadn´t planned on bothering with it... it´s amazing what happens when you randomly hop on busses.
We arrived in Mindo! And I look drunk... which I very well could be.
