Hostal L'Auberge Inn, Quito

After traveling for 30h from Trujillo we are finally in Quito, Ecuador. It's 3am.

Crossing the border in Aguas Verdes/Huaquillas went smoothly even though Lonely Planet describes this as the worst border crossing in South America.

The bus from Huaquillas to Quito sucked and took 3h longer than expected, but the views seen from the bus window were interesting: banana plantations, houses on stilts, etc. Unfortunately reached the mountains only in the dark. Quito is 2800m high, the bus gained this elevation in that last 100km.

It's also cold here, 12 degrees, I think.
