The first day
When we arrived there ,it was cold. It was 4 am when we arrived and we took a tour bus to Mercure hotel in Quito. We arrived at 6 or 7 in the morning, we haven't slept at all. We went up to see in which rooms me and my friend will stay but when we got up there ,they had messed up all the rooms so I ended up with other 3 girls, thank god they were from my class. These girls were nice but I wanted to stay with my friends. Luckily my other friend was with my bestie and they ended up having a big room for just the 2 of them. I moved out from the other room to my Friends room. I ended up sleeping because I didn't feel well enough. At 12 am we ended up going to this university. I wasn't up for it but we had to go. It was a lovely experience though, the place was super beautiful, super relaxed. I don't remember the university's name but it is beautiful there. The day was pretty much a relaxing day because I don't remember what we did after the trip to the university. We went to eat at Mirador El Ventanal restaurant with had a amazing view. The food was delicious and we were stuffed.The second day
The second day was pretty much exciting . First we went to eat I think at the hotel and then we left to go I think to the Train station. I have never been in a train before so I was pretty much excited. When we arrived there I saw the old types of train which they have in Ecuador. We took a ride from Machachi Festivo to Camino al Boliche. When we arrived at this place, there was a place where you can buy yourself a snack. Let me tell you something, in Ecuador the food that you just buy in a local store is really cheap and delicious. We then took a bus and I think we went to Cotopaxi Volcano which was Incredibly beautiful. I've seen places beautiful but this volcano was beautiful. There was a place to eat there which was also amazing. We saw cows which where I live, we actually don't see them randomly at a house or a place. I was pretty much alone that day because I felt like it, I felt being alone at a beautiful place might help me clear my mind. We ended up going to the hotel.
The third day
We woke up pretty early so we can go shopping in the streets of Ecuador where they sell everything of leather. I didn't buy anything because I don't like real leather. The place was beautiful. We then took a ride and we arrived in a place where there is market on the streets and in the corner there was like an amusement park. We played a little machine here and there and we went to the market place. Almost everything is made with hands. We then took a bus to one of the restaurants. Boy let me tell you, the restaurant view was incredible. The view was amazing. We then drove to a Bird park which was Amazing, also with a breath taking view. Sadly I don't remember the name of the bird park.
The forth day we left Quito. We went to a place, where I don't remember it is, but it was like a park with a gorgeous view. We then took a 2 hour drive or 1 hour drive to Mindo. When we arrived there, holly cow but its amaze balls. It was pretty much in the jungle. First I thought we were going to stay in a room with my friend but we ended up sleeping 7 girls in a room. Don't worry, there was space for 7 people. It was more like a house. That day we had off so we could pretty much do what ever we wanted, well kind of. The night arrived and it was time to sleep. At night you would feel mosquitos zoom in your ear, bug crawling on you it was Terrifying but if you had your Off spray you would sleep like a baby.
The fifth day
we had to do some activities. The day before I got.. my period so I though, no I am not going to do any of these activities because you know, it will feel disgusting. One of my friend ended up convincing me to go because it was a life time experience so I decided to go. First we went tubing. It was in a dead cold river but hey, it was so much fun. Then we had a gap that we were free. I ended up "getting lost". I arrived in Terrabambu Lodge hotel which was like 5 minute walk from the hotel that I was staying in ( don't remember the name). Oh my, that hotel is beautiful. I then ended up back to my hotel with some new friends that I made. We then went canopy. I am absolutely terrified of height. I didn't want to go. Thanks to a new friend I made, she convinced me to go again. I went up there and I was ready to say " hell no, I aint going" but than again, there was no way down. Well there was but you'll get lost maybe, so I had to do it. Girl, when I did it was something unforgettable. I will never forget that. than we ended up going to sleep The sixth day
We left Mindo to go back to Quito in the same hotel. But first we went to Mitad del mundo which means we went to the Equator if you don't know, that is where the latitude is 0"0"0 . I felt very happy because I was at the middle of the world. We than took a walk and went to eat at Cochachamba restaurant. Food was delicious. We then took a ride to the Aerial Tram. As you know, I am so afraid of height. I decided it is a life time experience so I would go. Going up in the aerial tram I was afraid I'd die. One of my friend who was also afraid kept screaming every time the aerial tram shake. That made me more terrified. When we arrived up, they warned us we should have come with good shoes, gloves and mutt because it is cold up there, I went with slippers no gloves and no mutt only with a jeans and a sweater. It was where I couldn't breath normally and I've started to feel ill. I went in the place to sit and that is where I saw how high I was , almost on top . I took a sit and I got a panic attack. I was immediately transported back down. I wanted to die. I kept having panic attack all the way down and I couldn't stop shaking I was so mortified. I ended up getting oxygen and I was really cold. Then we went back to Mercure hotel which was a lovely hotel, comfy bed. I got a medicine and I went to bed. My friends decided to have a nice slumber party. They're such lovies.
The seventh day
It was my last day in Ecuador. I was sad to leave. We went and took a ride in the main street of Quito, we saw historical buildings and stuff like that and then we went Shopping at La Scala shopping. Than we left the airport. This time I was so tired that I fell asleep in the plane. when I opened my eyes I was back home.
