Banos

Hola!
Just another quick update before we head off to the jungle!
So Lizzy got here on Friday evening and we went to pick her up from the airport. I didn´t get to bed until about 2 and then my alarm went off at 5.55 the next morning! We got a bus to Banos which took about 4 hours. We were then given lunch at the grandmothers house (which is where we are staying) and then we were shown some of the waterfalls. They are very impressive! There was one that had a cable car going across the river to the top of the waterfall. The views were amazing! In the evening we went out to a bar place that had a dance floor. It was really good fun. The music is very different to the music that is played in British clubs. Adri was trying to teach us to dance salsa. It is really hard but we tried!
On Sunday we rented bikes and cycled to a massive waterfall. It took a couple of hours. There were some uphill bits that were effort but the downhill bits were good fun. There was a mini waterfall that we went completely under on the way and we also got soaked in the big waterfall too. The rest of the family were following us in the car and taking pictures of us out of the window! We could have cycled back but we decided to go in a lorry that took our bikes as well. In the evening we went to the thermal baths. Some were really hot and then another one was really cold. We went in the hot and then the cold and then ran back in to the hot again! Although it did feel too hot at first if you had just been in the cold.
The rest of the family left this morning so Lizzy and I took a taxi up to the top of a hill where there is a cafe. The views were stunning and we could see the top of a volcano. We had lunch in the cafe and then walked down. It was a nice walk down although it was fairly steep. We are thinking of going back to the thermal baths tonight for a last bit of relaxation before the jungle!
Adios! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
