Today, I had not taken enough notice of the route details, and missed the lunch restaurant all together. We were riding from Gauyaquil to Banos, so as to be nearer to the Capital, Quito for tomorrow.
While unhappy about that, I did manage to get a hamburger at the Sanjay hotel where we are staying just across from the Hot Baths that are spiritual to the local people.
When Sheryle arrived, she had researched the local area, and so we took a taxi up to the Highest Tree House and went on their swings and zip lines which was so much fun, especially over the huge drop towards the volcano. It was a delightful afternoon as it happened.
We then returned and went to the local spa across the road. The water was Caliente (hot) and we enjoyed it a lot, although Sheryle's favourite Haviana thongs were purloined by another visitor!
When I awoke this morning, I found out that a long time friend from Australia, who had gone to live in the USA and become a citizen, had passed away at a very young age. Maybe he was about 63, but I will check.
