Subject: Post: This day was pretty much wasted waiting for the replacement car to arrive. The road from Quito to Tena goes high over the mountains and is in bad condition, so it's only open for couple of hours at daytime due to repair works. The rental company driver couldn't use that route, so he had to drive a long way to us via Banos and only arrived in the afternoon.Having received a new car, a horribly ugly toy car Chevrolet Spark we drove through the mountain road to Quito. The road was open in the evenings after 6pm, so we could pass through but it was already dark. At some points the road was just mud and even had small rivers flowing over the road. It was raining, dark and the road is actually listed on some website as one of the most dangerous ones in the world so we didn't exactly enjoy the experience. Thanks to the rental company for the late delivery of the car..Everything went well though and we arrived to Quito, dropping off the new car to the rental company. Luckily they agreed with us that the damage in the car was pre-existing and the now broken steel wire repair had been done during some earlier rental. We did drive it through that bump, but it would have not caused anything if the old repair wasn't weak. So, this mess didn't cost us anything and they even refunded the taxis we had to take between Misahualli and Tena. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
