Heading south

Leaving Angel Falls I spent the next 76 hours on a combination of buses and taxis as I made my way south. I managed to cross the borders of Venezuela/Colombia and Colombia/Ecuador with only a slight degree of difficulty before finally stopping for the night in Otavalo, Ecuador.

The next morning was spent perusing Otavalo's famous markets for souvenirs, the most stressful part of my trip! Then it was another 20 hours on more buses before once again stopping at an Ecuadorian beach town for a chance to sleep in a proper bed for a few nights.

I plan to spend the next week or so heading down along the western coasts of Ecuador and Peru, as my time in South America slowly comes to an end.
