Another day in Banos

Breakfast was exceptional this morning and included delicious crispy croissants filled with tangy salty cheese.  After eating, many of the group went off to do different activities.  We decided to take advantage of the power being on and the wifi working to catch up on some admin and work stuff.

When the power went off at 1pm, this was our cue to go out.  We had a wander around town and found a supermarket.  Tomorrow will be a long driving day, so we wanted to buy food for the journey.  We also bought salad, eggs, cheese, and ham to have back at the hostel today.  I was pleased to find a health food shop where I was able to find chia seeds for the first time on this trip.  This is despite the fact that this is where they are grown.

At the hostel, I went up on the roof to take some photos of the town.

This evening, Nikki sent us the detailed itinerary for the next couple of weeks, and also the cook groups and rota as we start camping when we cross to Peru in a couple of days.  As expected, Mark and I are in different groups.Read more
