1993 Ch 11: Ecuador

Fun times with Ecuadorian inefficiencies, snow-capped volcanos, joyous salsa, home-made explosive devices, semi-permanent mountain roads, upset Italians on the Devil’s Nose railway and avalanche-aware cattle on the way to cold waves and new songs at Montanita.All text written, read and recorded by James Whiley. Other cool podcast tech stuff done by Rod Morri at Sydney Podcast Studios. See www.sydneypodcaststudios.com.au
