Return to El Tingo

After a very loud night in Baños, we woke up and met for breakfast. After checking out of the hostel, we again headed to the French restaurant for a quick meal for toast, blackberry jam, pineapple juice, and hot chocolate. We were then off for the drive back to el Tingo.

Along the way we saw the lava flows from Tugurahua, an active volcano. The flow was from the most recent eruption about eight years ago. We also stopped for ice cream in Ambato and saw the jean manufactures in Pelileo. We were then back at Mucki’s in time for lunch, where I had a portabello and zucchini gratin and G had Cornish game hen breasts. For dessert I had the Apfel Strudel with Ice Cream and homemade whipped cream and G had a homemade cedrón ice cream. Everything was delicious.

After hanging out at Mucki’s for a few hours we had a delicious pizza dinner made by G in Mucki’s kitchen. Even the restaurant staff enjoyed it.
