We made it in to Quito after midnight last night. We thankfully got a ride to a hotel. We slept in a bit and hopped on a bus to Baños around noon. Quito seemed too big and bustling for the intro to our adventure. The bus was super nice and got us safely to our first real stop in just over 3 hours. The altitude hasnt affected us too much yet, although we are really high... (quito is 2900 meters... you do the math)
Baños is an amazingly awesome little town of around 10K people. So far we´ve seen waterfals, a volcano erupting, and met some aussies & brits among others. Our hostel is 7.50/night with a big private room, a steam room, and a sweet 360 view on the rooftop patio and communal kitchen. Nice spot, ¨Hostel Plantañas Y Blancos¨ if anyones planning a trip. We ate a nice dinner tonight for around 5 bucks total. Met a nice old guy from Minnesota... what else...? Just slimmed our 100+ pictures down to 67 and will figure out posting them in the AM.
Thats all for now. More later. Comments?
