Well helu once again Since last time we mwt in Quito ive witnessed the anihalation of Kyle on his 21st birthday (our last rum and coke night), Mio and cherry getting a good dose of mustard in the fabled mustard trick of quito (luckily we were wise to the scam), However since departing Quito weve comcoured the volcanic trails of Cotopaxi, played in its snowy summit, gained a spell of comcussion, the cycled (at a rather rapid pace) back down to its base.
Re-grouping with Matt and Charlie we then made way to the small party town of Banos (and despite having the same name as a toilet its not to bad), and without much of a reason not to also indulged ourselves in a spot of advetureous activity.
Our second day in Banos took our six strong group decied to take a canyoning trip, so repelling along a series of waterfalls we worked up quite an appitite, so back at the hostal and two chickens later needless to say we were all feeling a tad stuffed. The night didnt bring much, full belies kept us back at the hostel until boredom struck amd i wandered along to the thermal hot baths down the road meeting an interesting Korean/american chap before heading out for a beer and bottle of Zhumier (the Equadorian equivelant to vodka) But actually alot nicer. Luckily i managed to maintain the comtents of my stomach whea rather intoxicated local decided we were the right people to show his freddie Mercury tatoo too...
But alas, today has brought Mios birthday, amd some what of a treat we decided to make waves as we took to the white waters surrounding Banos for a bit of, well white water rafting, needless to say despite the fact we got rather wet, we all felt pretty darn accomplished when over two ours and god only knows how much river later we had all managed to stay securely in the boat, and yes Jesus truly was proud of his six newest deciples of the waters white!
Tonight there isnt much of a plan, a couple of drinks in the leprechaun bar to celebrate the birth of Mio, and maybe an interesting meal of choichoi...
Who knows, in Ecuador, anything seems to go!
