Walking through the countryside to get to the hot baths
After about a 30 minute walk we arrived at the baths
Me in our private hot tub, with a few beers to be getting along with! (Not quite as romantic as champagne, but beggars can't be choosers!)
Us getting ready to head back to the road to catch the bus
Then off we head back
Along the muddy path
Past the crazy steep farmlands
Over the rickety bridge
Through the valley
Past the mountains
Past the volcano and we are back to the road Excursion to San Andres Xequl Click here to read the story
