Hello and welcome to the beginning of our Ecuador adventure!
This is the last prep weekend we have before heading off in 41 days...
We managed to set up tents before getting hit by the rain. While we took shelter, we learnt and helped each other to adjust our rucksacks to make sure that we would be comfortable when carrying 3 weeks worth of gear.
Once the rain had cleared, we realised that we hadn't pitched the tents properly as water had got into them but we soon resolved it.
For dinner, we had vegetable chilli with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream. For dessert we made a new kind of s'more, where we stuffed an ice cream cone with marshmallows, Nutella and a variety of chocolates, which we will later be cooking around the camp fire.
We look forward to the rest of the weekend and even more so for Ecuador and the Galapagos!
