We felt like a bit of pampering after our tough expedition at the weekend so we hit the Turkish Baths in the Old Town, Quito for some much needed TLC! Ro, Charlie, Luke ( Team Oz) & myself spent a few hours between the pool, jacuzzi, sauna & steam room. Then on to the local Chifa (Chinese) for the biggest feed ever for $3 - heaven!
Our plan is head South from Quito to a volcanic resort town called Banos. The idea was to get down there tonight but we got back to the hostel to find out we got the wrong bus times from our trusted local tourist agent Paul; all trust is lost now & we hate him! This is the same guy who sold us the climbing trip of Cotopaxi as if it was a walk in the park & not the painfull hell it turned out to be!! Fecking Canadian!
Ah well that just means we get another night in the Irish Pub to return their flag & watch the All-Ireland. Charlie`s not too happy because he foolishly put a $20 bet with Ursula the owner, so since we just checked the result he has to cough up!! Personally I`m delighted Tyrone won!
Good times in Finn McCools tonight, we received a hero`s welcome with our Cotopaxi Irish flag!Ursula was delighted with the result of the All-Ireland so Charlie`s $20 was the icing on the cake for her! Free pints were dished out & we watched the game. Kerry were unlucky! We got home around 4am after lock-in, bus at 9am tomorrow morning should be fun!
