Quito

In the new town we have visited contemporary art museums, Ecuador's national museum, the second highest football stadium in the world (the national stadium) and parks.

In the old town Sophie climbed to the top of the Basillica by way of a series of rusty and rickety ladders. She was unable to go to the very top as the wire mesh floor was broken, this didn't stop any of the Ecuadorians.

Six km out of the centre, we visited the monument to the Equatorial line that passes through Quito. Visited a nearby volcanic Crater which is the largest active inhabited volcano in the world.
