Quito at last!

Long day of travel over, up at 04:00 in London to catch 07:25 flight to Madrid followed by 12:40 flight to Quito!    It is now 20:45 in Quito which is 02:45 in London. So nearly 23 hours awake, but I should sleep well tonight and be switched into Ecuadorian time in the morning.
Unpacked the bike and all is well, phew!  Just got to sort out the luggage now.
Two other participants here today, the others will arrive in next 2 days.  Hotel friendly and staff helpful.
I now feel as if the long wait it finally over, the next few days will be spent getting acclimatised to the altitude, meeting new people and counting down the last few days to the start.  The excitement is mounting!
