Day 233 – Side trip to Baños

Nobbies leave the big mochillas behind in Quito and travel with our day backs for a week on local buses to see some of the outer areas of Quito. First stop Baños. Long day of travel as the regional bus terminals are about 1 hour out of the city but impressive spending under $40 for the day: 25c trolley bus, $3.50 for 3 hour bus to Baños and $18 for hostel room and no pickpocketing. We travel along the avenue of volcanoes but the valley is under rain clouds. Latest Ecuador bus movie played at full volume is Troy with Brad Pitt and Eric Bana dubbed in Spanish.
