Visiting the Childrens Home in Ambato

As you all know we are raising money for two great charities: Macmillan Cancer Support and Danielle's Children Fund. We have set up a Just Giving page for Macmillan and are collecting the money ourselves for the Ecuatorian children. 


Visiting the children's home was an opportunity not to be missed . We had a long conversation with Ine, the president of Danielle Children's Home about the work they do on Ecuador and Nepal and then we went to see the children.



After the successful climb of Cotopaxi we had we were advised that the conditions were better for Cayambe than Chimborazo so we decided that we would attempt to climb Cayambe to have a better chance to reach the summit.


Marco collected us from the Children's Home and took us to the wackiest of haciendas. All the rooms had religious names and we were suitably housed in 'La Virgen'. Food was great and Kath ended up having trout for the fifth time in three days, such is the life of a vegetarian in these parts.


Bed beckoned but not before some treatment to Kath's eyes that got a bit burned in the Cotopaxi.
