On the 3th of december, louis and me take the bus from Tena to Quito. Its time to say goodbye to Equador. Tomorrow the 4th is our flight to London. Why we leave...well its still very dry and its not getting better, and we expect that ilnesses will devellop when the rainforest gets dry.
So we travel to Quito by bus, and arrive at the bus terminal at 21.00. There is just one taxi....traveling with kayaks is always hard, but this taxi is a pick up, so we take it. That choice was a big mistake.
The kayaks and bags go in the back, becouse in the fron there is no space. Both we have a bad feeling about the driver. And soon after our entrance in the taxi another car stops us, and tells us he saw, we have been robbed....whilst we are sitting next to the driver in the taxi...I cant believe it.
Both my bags are gone, pasport, divinglicense, bank cards, kayak equipment, clothes, glasses, lenses......its all gone.
The day of the flight we arranged a new pasport at the Dutch ambassade, after obtaining 2 stamps at another place with again very onmotivated officials, the pasport is valid en we can fly. Louis his parents have send us some very needed money by Western union transfer. Very very helpfull.
So at 15.00 we load the kayaks in a taxi and drive towards the airport... ready to leave the country. Next problem.....sorry madam, your kayaks ...you have to pay 500 dollar to fly them. After showing them my police report and telling them of the fact that I have been robbed and have no money.....they suddenly go for free....YEAH!
After contacting my travel insurance, they just tell me they cant help me. GREAT Also Ibera cant help me, its not their problem, they tell me. GREAT So im stuck in Madrid without any money and a pasport which only allows me to fly to Holland. All the frustrations, stress and difficulties of the last 24 hours eventually make me feel angry. After coming so far...im stuck in Madrid.... So I throw my pasport and tickets around in their office and start and get angry. After this they suddenly book me straight away on a flight to Amsterdam.l So 10 minutes later Im in the plane to Amsterdam...great!!! Last week Ive been busy with my travel insurance. I lost all my gear worth around 3000 pounds, painfull. Now Im waiting for what the insurance will pay me... Hopefully I will be just as lucky as arranging the stuff in Equador.......Its a sad way to leave a place where you had a good time. Just bad luck!!!
Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose...

Are you fed up with running dailies, harvesting ore or wow gold herbs, or killing mobs for rare items for several hours? Wow can be unbelievably grindy at times in the event you wish to compete with the best gear, or keep a supply of consumables on your character at all times. Should you need a lot more gold I suggest a wow gold bot.

Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours,
And clouds Ugg Boots their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze,
And cups o’erflow with wine;
Let well-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine.
Now yellow Ugg Outlet waxen lights
Shall wait on honey love,
While youthful revels, masques, and courtly sights
Sleep’s leaden spells remove.
