Then after 1 hour waiting/shopping/using the bathroom at Tena we got on our second bus to Baņos - this one played a mixture of 80s hits, some in Spanish, some in English, a bit quieter …

Lazy day today. We had an amazing breakfast at about 8:30 then went into town to cash up some Amex cheques. Pichincha bank wouldn't do it! So we had to go to Pacifico instead and there was a massive queue. Some man was changing up what must have been about a million dollars worth of coins. It was so hot in there.

    The food is fantastic, and good value. The room we have has a lovely view of the waterfall and a balcony. Hot showers, very close to town and the hot springs but not noisy. Would recommend.
