After waking
to another proper decent breakfast at Hotel Andino, we prepared for travelling to
our acclimatisation phase in El Chaupi. Following a fascinating bus journey
where we saw some absolutely decent sights of the Quito, ranging from the
favela-like shanty towns lining the hills and the pure decent mountains.

The streets of Machachi
Upon
reaching El Chaupi we set up camp and ate proper decent grub made by chefs
Cameron, Jake and Andrew, after which a wee unit headed into Machachi to get
some of the local foods and utensils. |
Once we had
returned from Machachi with all our materials, we went on a decent minor trek
that was pretty decent. So decent! When we first arrived at camp today the sky
was filled with clouds hiding the unbelievable beauty of the snow-capped
mountains of Cotopaxi and Chimborazo surrounding us – truly decent vistas from
the campsite.

(Ed. Some of the boys are currently playing
cards while others are cooking dinner over an open fire. We are at an altitude of 3,250m at the moment
here in the camp and everyone seems fine, if not a little giddy. The plan
tomorrow is to go to 3,750m but back
down to sleep. Hope you’re enjoying sharing the boys’ experiences.
