Banos - 3rd April 2009
Baños is famous for it`s thermal baths, as well as its wealth of waterfalls, the active volcano, and various sports and adventure activities, such as rafting, canyoning, bungee jumping, and trekking.
From our jungle lodges, it took us 5 hours on the bus to get to Baños, where I had a relaxed afternoon after having a typical lunch of fried chorizo, egg and potato cakes. In the evening, we went out for a few too many drinks - it started with flaming Bob Marleys on the house, then I started on the Black Russians (Vodka & Kahlua), with a few tequila shots thrown in for good measure. Belen, our tour guide, taught us a few simple salsa moves as well - its surprisingly easy, although you never look as good as you think!
