More photos for your delectation!

Horseriding was great - Hannah hadn´t done it since she was 13 so we were hoping to take it easy but in true Ecuadorian gaucho style we set off at a full pelt gallop with me feeling slightly guilty and hoping she would be ok.

Wasn´t like that the whole way - just most of it! We were probably the nuisance of all the villages we galloped through - Ecuadorian equivalent of Boy Racers on Southend sea front. The guide Wilson was on a very fast horse and I kept trying to race him - unfortunately Rocillo just couldn´t cut the mustard!

The horses were really well looked after and we got back to some food and also chatting to Marcello (4 years old who I put a photo up of) - he was soooooo cute with his little bowl haircut and his toy tractor - slightly more unnerving was his toy (I think it was a toy anyway!) gun.

Went back to Baños town and spent the arvo chilling before heading out to discover what Baños on a Friday night has to offer! We found a great bar selling a whole manner of cocktails for $2.50 - bargain! It became my home from home Collosseum as they put the White Stripes Seven Nation Army on - yeay I was 21 AGAIN Claire!!! Mojitos there were awesome with real mint and everything - Yum!
