In an attempt to keep our hangovers at bay, decided to get a fast food breakfast at the joint next to our hotel... Burger King. Yes, I know. What a crime. I'm ashamed.
Returned to old town Quito for some more exploration. Checked out a big cathedral with the strangest collection of gargoyles I have ever seen. Turtles, monkeys, lizards, panthers, anteaters, dolphins... quite an odd mix. This church was comparable to the gothic churches of Europe. Super tall with impressive arches, stained glass, and golden shrines inside.
Walked around a park with the work of local artists out for display. Got some vintage heavy metal items and an alpaca unicorn pillow at an outdoor market (interesting mix, huh?). Roamed around a bit more, grabbed a quick lunch, and bid farewell to Quito for the last time before heading home.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Although there was a lot of paper work, I received help and guidance when I needed it.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
