Tuesday June 10th
We left the springs and headed for Otovalo. For weeks this has been built up as the best markets in South America, and while they are good, they are no South East Asian markets (especially the Chatachuk market). Still it did bring me full circle, I visited a big market right at the start to buy all the bits I thought I would need on my travels, and now I visited a big market at the end to buy some presents.
Mind you I did need a bit of help to do it, I'm not really good at presnt buying. So Sara was willing to lend a hand, and I would like to think I helped in her purchase decisions, but lets be honest, I didn't.
One thing to note is that Otovalo is in the Northern Hemisphere, or as I like to call it when the Aussies were around, the better Hemisphere. It is our only night in South America on the correct side of the equator. We did stop at the correct equator today, but we only had time for a few photos. We will go to the incorrect equator tomorrow, the official monument which is slightly inaccurately placed, where we will take more photos.
