Ecuador Day 14

It'd been an unpleasant night for me; but the hours that followed would be even worse. I'd now got several flights ahead of me whilst suffering from food poisoning.

Bellavista Cloud Forest

Ecuador Day 13

Our final full day in Ecuador before or eventual flights back home. We got to get some more walking done in the morning; but it was the start of a very unpleasant twenty four hours for me.

Ecuador Day 12

Standing on the Equator

Ecuador Day 3

Our second day was a trip to Otavalo, and stopping at various sights along the way. It rained on and off as the day went on; but it didn't dampen our spirits. It was our last day in Ecuador.

Ecuador Day 2

After two more flights through Bon Aire and Guayaquil we'd made it to Quito for a city tour. It was a damp one; but a promising start to the holiday.

Ecuador Day 1

The entire first day of the holiday was spent travelling: first to Birmingham for our first flight, and then to Amsterdam for our second. I'd not thought about food which meant I'd not thought to take Euros with me either.

Cyprus
My first trip to Cyprus had been for a half marathon race that never took place. It'd been postponed until 2022, but due to timings I decided to defer until the 2023 event as it'd work better that way…

Another week, another half marathon. Could I edge closer to being a sub-90 runner again, and beat Copenhagen and Cardiff? I certainly wasn't sure, but I was going to give it a go.…
