Amazing Experiences


17.11.11
I have seen some once in a lifetime things since being here on holiday with my parents. There are so many experiences which I want to share, but here is just a glimpse into our holiday.

-          Sitting outside for breakfast, whilst watching hummingbirds feeding and that is was so quiet I could hear their wings humming


-          Going to sleep and waking up to the noise of the sea


-          Seeing turtles swimming next to the boat I was in

-          Snorkelling in clear turquoise blue sea with sun rays streaking through the water whilst swimming with multi-coloured tropical fish, swimming above the coral sea bed









-          Sleeping in the top part of a wooden cabin with lots of windows, feeling like I was sleeping under the stars, surrounded by beautiful trees

-          Going up in a cable car nearly to the highest part of Quito to look out upon the whole of the Capital City of Ecuador, looking out with my parents and a good friend with me.

-          Sat in a beach hammock watching the waves wash in, with pelicans flying over the waves.

-          Climbing Cotopaxi in the snow (but  not even seeing it)


-          Watching my parents play with bubbles in the water museum!


-          Standing on the Equator line


-          Horse riding along the beach


-          Going bird watching at 4:30 in the morning (eating breakfast whilst waiting for the birds)




-          Completely disrupting 2 classes of 4 year old children in Laura Flores and the children being so excited to seeing my Mum and Dad

-          Dragging Dad around every market in Ecuador whilst he stood and waited and kept asking “have you got all you need now!?”



        Watching blue footed boobies and their chicks

-         










 
Sitting next to a 16 year boy on a bus whilst he looked after his 1 week old orphaned parrot in a box


-          Watching the sun set over Quito on my parents last night in Ecuador

-          Taking a taxi half an hour to go to a cash machine to find that it didn’t work and having to beg and borrow money

-          Watching Dad’s amazement as he discovered all the different ways a banana can be cooked!
