tag:islaytour.blog.co.uk,2009-11-07:/Follow our world challenge group as we adventure through the South American country of Ecuador. We set off from the Isle of Islay on Friday the 23rd of June. We are going to stay over night in Glagow, hopefully go to the cinema, and catch a plane next day to take us to Amsterdam. From there we will then take an eleven hour flight to Ecuador in South America where we we will arrive at Quitto, the captal city, to begin our Expididtion. There are five people coming from Islay. Myself Ross Grant, Ashley Hyslop, Amy Logan, Sheila MacLellan and our mentor Steven Harrison. Wish us Luck on our travels.

Are you enjoying Ecuador. We are on the athletics course and Daniel and Thomas are coming for pizza tonight. We are missing you lots. Remember about the strip and presents!!! We went horse riding at Mrs Kerr's and had a great time. Pepper, the cheeky horse, was very bumpy and ran away when he didn't have a saddle. The politest horse was Ben and Ashley liked him best. Iain liked Melody. We've been to the playing fields and played pitch and putt.
