The hardest is still to come

As the hardest is still two come we decided to take it easy on the next two days and try to get some rest to prepare for what was to come.

First we returned the bikes, the shop owners were thrilled and wanted to take our photo to publish it on their website as we had been the first to do the Quilotoa loop on their bikes. Then we went to the craft market for a bit of retail therapy a welcome rest from being constantly on the move since our arrival in the country.

The next day, we went for a wonder to the local market where you can buy the most amazing variety of potatoes as well as a whole series of potions against evil eye, to give you success in business as well as the most amazing sexual prowess.

 

 

Papallacta was next, back to the local buses to get us there. The waters in Papallacta are heated by the volcanic activity beneath and can reach up to 45 degrees centigrades. Here are two relaxed women who nearly fell sleep in the water surrounded by beautify mountains.
