The Sassy llamas
Thursday, after a hearty breakfast in Los Pinos, we decided that the weather wasn't to compatible with activities, so we decided to head to El Refuica spa. First up our mud bath ($8), we coated ourselves in warm mud and then danced to Zumba videos before a shower. After this it was facials ($25) and hot stone massages ($30). Relaxed and energised we were served fruit and yogurt and returned to the hostel. After an amazing brownie and ice cream, we headed for a mani and pedi ($10) - getting some fabulous nail art! Dinner in the hostel was a tasty bargain. (Quesadillas and sandwiches for $4/5).
Friday, thankfully it wasn't raining when we woke up so we ventured to the famous swing by taxi. The rain just about held off while we got photos from all angles. We got back to the hostel and had some hot beverages to heat us up before a potter about Banos. Then we just needed to kill a few hours before our 10pm overnight bus to Guaypail ($10), where we can grab our bus to Mancora.
High - the bargain mani pedis
Low - the rain
Rain - constant!!
