Banos, Ecuador: Round 4

What do you do after your Amazon tour where you have held a alligator, eaten piranha and spent the night with a drunken Shaman?  Easy choice........you take the red eye bus to Banos and keep the adventures coming.  With 4 days left of vacation, that's exactly what Christian and I did.  Check it out:
After having cow stomach and rice for breakfast, which does not fall anywhere near the descriptive word, "tasty", we spent the morning hiking up the mountain side for this view of Banos, below.  We then rented a go cart for the afternoon and drove around on the back country roads.  Yes, in the picture above, that is Christian driving without his helmet buckled and rocking out on his ipod.  Safety first does not apply to two guys traveling during Carnival.  Note to future go cart renter's: be sure the headlights work before entering long, dark tunnels with cars coming the opposite way who think it is safe to pass because they don't see any oncoming traffic.  I'm pretty sure I saw angel's with golden trumpet's.   
The next day was spent taking a mountain bike tour of the area's many waterfall's.
Another great trip in the books.
