We returned from a drought-affected Ecuador (including the Amazon Basin) on Saturday to heavy rain. By Sunday morning we could see flooding in the fields nearby and by the evening our village had been cut off in all directions apart from one road.

Today, therefore, it has been nice going for a lunchtime walk in the sunshine…

Our holiday was amazing and one of the best I’ve had. It may take some time but it warrants more than one short post. So, over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting a series of posts about different aspects of the trip, starting with an overview.
