Breakfast at Gloria's

As planned, we were up early. After freshening up we went to the stouts for our breakfast. Soon we were served a lovely morning meal of banana pancakes with chocolate. It was a nice beginning of the day.
After the breakfast, we started planning our day. Hristo wanted to go to Takay, a village about 350 mts above our current village of San Juan. He also wanted to check out some ruins near Takay. I had read on the blogs that there was nothing special in the town and that the ruins were in a bad shape. In fact, I had hardly been able to find any information about either of these places on the net, so I wanted to start the trek back to Cabanaconde and rest half a day there. I also felt that doing both Takay going up 350 mts, then coming down to San Juan and then going up to Cabanaconde another 1000 mts on the the other side would be too much for a day. But, Hristo wanted to challenge himself to do the whole thing in a day.
In the end, we decided that I would head back to Cabanaconde, while Hristo started on the ascent towards Takay.Read more
