Another bus ride ...
Yet another early start!! Caught the 8am bus to Chugchilan ($2 for 1.5hrs). The scenery was breath taking. It was a clear day so you could see for miles & miles & all the volcanoes around. Its a pitty we couldnt get any photos.
We then got on the back of a truck to Laguna Quilatoa, a volcanic crater lake which was amazing. We walked down to the rim (easy) & then back up again (bloody hard!!). At one point I wanted to jump off the edge for an easy life!! Note for next time - hire a mule!
We missed the 2pm bus (only one!). But we hung around & bartered for another truck to take us to Chugchilan. We arrived at Hostal Cloud Forest, which is exactly as it says on the packet ... it was very cloudy looking out to the forest!
The shower was HEAVEN! The best one to date.
I bumped into Veronica (the lady I shared my cabin with at the Galapagos). This was the first time we'd actually met "English" speaking people along our route.
