Good evening/good morning from the Sheraton Quito. 1st upgrade from a king to a suite with my new plat status.
Very comfortable room despite it being over the entrance so inevitable traffic noise.Lots of stealable/useable stuff, there’s even a tray by the bed to put your shoes on. It’s like the old days when hotels were actually about service.
Shame I had to prompt for the 0% vat for tourists, otherwise would have been perfect.
Smooth jazz and wine flowing in club lounge, food and snack options look good but I’m tired, time for bed
Looking forward to hearing about your travels in Ecuador. I’m considering squeezing in a quick side trip there during my month in Peru/Colombia in June and though there’s a few HfP’ers visiting Colombia this year (forgot to say thanks @Gordon for the write up the other week) it’d be good to hear more about Ecuador.
Currently thinking Quito/Cuenca with an overnight stop along the way at Baños (yes no Galapagos but I will come back to visit there properly another time) but the FCO advisory on rolling blackouts/curfews/road blockades in Ecuador is putting me off a little. So would be good to hear some “on the ground” reports (albeit things could be quite different come June)
