The main goal of today was to get to Baňos. We had another lovely
night at our hotel followed by a wonderful breakfast. We had our hotel call us
a taxi, thinking they would get us a good one. Considering all of the walking
we did yesterday, I thought I would have been sore. I wasn’t too bad… until
after that taxi ride. So, the ride to the bus station was to take about an
hour. Well, with our driver it too about 15 minutes. Enough said. Zipping in
and out of traffic, stopping half way under a cement truck. Driving 60 mph (100
kph). No seatbelts. Not to mention, there were no “Oh S&*% handles)! I’m
sure he found our gasps and facial expressions amusing.
Other than that our day was very uneventful. Took a 5hr bus
ride to Baňos. Our hotel
was not at all where Google maps said it was at, but it turned out ok. Our
hotel is amazing!!! There have a sauna, hot boxes, and hot tubs. The family
that runs it is so sweet. They don’t speak a lick of English, but somehow we
communicate just fine! Baňos
is very unique because almost everyone has dogs as pets. It is so nice to see
dogs that are not starving to death and that are not afraid of people. Our
hotel owners have three dogs, all of which
are super cute/friendly!
The super nice man that helped us find our hotel and called
us a taxi set us up with a bomb trip tomorrow zip lining through the canopy. On
Monday, we will be taking a bike tour to a plethora of different waterfalls!
