Day 16- Quito - Mitad Del Mundo

  

 

Final breakfast at Quito

Could not resist the temptation of taking the seeds home from this enormous lemon harvested from the hosteria's garden and plant them at home.

Our next sightseeing place to visit was the Mitad Del Mundo. 

 

 Tripadvisor:

"It is located approximately 20 minutes away from Quito, at San Antonio de Pichincha. The "Mitad del Mundo City" surrounding the monument includes several restaurantes and folk-lore shops, museums about the mission that measured the Earth, the "Solar Cuture Museom" (with a display of the lates investigations about the real middle of the world), and a Planetarium. Inside the monument is an interesting Ethnic Museum. Youcan shop and place one foot on the northern Hemisphere and the other on the southern Hemisphere."

 

We spent approximately two hours at this location before returning to the lodge to gather our luggage for the journey to the airport and to catch our flight back home.

We bid farewell to Olie and expressed our gratitude to him for providing us with a wonderful butterflying time and a memorable local Ecuadorian experience.
