Quito Madness

21 Oct-31 Oct – Yeah, I know it’s been a long time.  Sorry.  And about having to write it all in one update.  Problem is – I haven’t actually achieved anything other than drinking lots, sleeping little, and eating little.  Spent one night after pub closing with the owners.  And then the husband/boyfriend left.  So just me and Ursula.  Chatting away – and when we first realised what the time was, it was 2pm the next day.  Lee (manfriend) not particularly happy.  Have also spent a couple of other nights awake all night chatting to people.  Two of these times happened consecutively – so I decided to test the theory I’d heard a long long time ago – that after 72 hours without sleep, one starts to hallucinate.  Turns out it’s true.  Cool little hallucinations.  One other guy did the experiment with me.  I took him to bed as an unintelligable animal.  Checked on him later, and he was whimpering in his sleep.  Poor chap – broke him.

Have been referred to by lots of people as the King Of The Hostel.  But hoping to leave very soon.  Have spent yesterday and today catching up on sleep.  Next day or two will be spent building up the health more.  And then I can leave.  And that’s about all that’s happened over the last ten days.  I think.
