Coffee and lunch in Otavalo

Afterwards, we went to a café Nikki had recommended for coffee.  We found about half of our group there!  We ordered afogatas and spent some time chatting to the others and comparing purchases.

Later, we went to La Taberna Bar and Grill for lunch.  It came up as the number one restaurant in Otavalo on Google and was full of local families enjoying Sunday lunch.  We hadn’t had a proper meal for a couple of days, so it made a nice change.  Mark ordered a rare steak, which he said was the best he'd had in a long time.  I had chicken in a mushroom sauce.  Both came with a large salad and home cooked chips.  As we are finding all the time on this trip, the portions were huge!

After lunch, we set off to walk back up the hill to the hostel, but the heavens opened, so we flagged down a taxi.  It cost all of $2 to take us there!Read more
