Banos probably serve the worlds strongest
and largest drinks measures - which even Ronan struggled
with (hopefully this won't have put more hairs on him anyway as the "travel beard" is progressingly far too quickly!!!). Having struggled with language barriers for so long now we decided to brave it and took 4 hours of Spanish lessons which was a good idea to get some basics anyway...and so Ronan is now busy practicing by asking hardware shops for a UK to South America plug adaptor in his most fluent Spanish...needless to say we haven't yet got our hands on one but as the Nintendo DS has no battery left I'm sure Ro's presistence will pay off soon!! Baños was small and safe (even if my credit card and wallet (with little money) did go missing from our hostel room - the thief clearly was very deserving as they only tried to take out $15 from the ATM before my card got sucked in!!!!). The baths were hot, less natural then we had expected but fine none the less! Being the tourists that we are we went on a night volcano trip which involved looking at a big black mountain from about 3 miles away, could have been anything really!! Great meal in a restaurant called Casa Hood which is in all the guide books but seriously good value for money and fantastic atmosphere with jazz and blazing fireplace! We then packed our bags and off we went to Riobamba on a bumpy bumpy bus!!
