2:32
misunderstood here I going to grab my
2:33
bathing suit take it with me and then
2:36
we're going to grab a
2:42
taxi and head out going to miss this
2:42
view I stated that last couple days
2:45
definitely love the view here all right
2:47
taxi
2:49
time I'm not sure if this is an indoor
2:51
place or an outdoor place I think maybe
2:54
maybe some of the pools are inside some
2:55
are outside I'll find out when I get
2:57
there I I have no idea just got to see
2:59
if we can ha a taxi there goes one there
3:03
one was already in
3:11
it this truck has a speaker on top of
3:11
it and there's the T all right about a
3:16
15minute taxi ride give or take about 15
3:19
minutes
3:21
$3.33 for a taxi to be inside a taxi for
3:26
15 minutes going across town I think
3:29
it's a pretty good everything here is
3:30
pretty reasonable in comparison to the
3:32
state so going in going inside here see
3:35
what this is all
3:37
about it's called the haia Duran now I'm
3:42
Pro definitely not pronouncing that
3:43
correctly but it's the uh there's the
3:46
welcome M right there the lobby here
3:47
with a chandelier got a beautiful piece
3:50
of artwork right up top there and then
3:53
up here looks like there's a little
3:55
stained glass window old photos there on
3:57
the wall I guess what it looked like
3:58
back in the back in the day right there
4:01
some uh little photographs and then over
4:04
here they got a little waterfall it
4:06
looks as if it's been uh given some
4:08
awards the price is going to be $10 per
4:11
person to use all the facilities here
4:13
$10 per person right so we're in the
4:15
first spring water so this thing is
4:17
almost like a hot tub it's like a
4:19
massive hot tub so you got this one here
4:22
and then you have a Turkish bath up
4:24
there then you have a hotter hot tub
4:26
pool up at the top up here but this
4:28
place is I mean it's huge right heading
4:31
up to these two top buildings so you got
4:32
a pool up here a hot pool a cold pool
4:34
and then you got the Turkish bath right
4:35
here in this building so got to check
4:37
out the Turkish bath also known as
4:43
turos yeah oh it's super hot oh my gosh
4:48
yeah yeah that might be too much that is
4:51
a steam room was uh really S I just
4:53
opened the door and it was like 200° of
4:55
steam in there I think you just sit in
4:57
there with a group of people I've seen
4:58
that kind in like movie and TV where
5:00
you're just kind of sitting with people
5:02
in the steam steam room the sign here's
5:05
the volley
5:06
court right here so the name of this
5:08
town is on the outskirts of quink it's
5:10
Banos not the same BOS we were near in
5:12
keto but a different Banos and yes the
5:16
word
5:17
Banos uh is another word for restrooms
5:19
but there's two towns here in this area
5:22
of Ecuador quo or Kito and quink that
5:26
has a BOS BOS is right over there and
5:30
I'm going to go inside this building
5:31
here hit the hot tub in the pool all
5:33
right this is a cold pool 10° C they
5:37
suggest to be in here for 1 to 2
5:40
minutes so this is a cold pool no one's
5:44
in the cold pool everyone's like no I'm
5:46
good on the cold pool thing and then 42°
5:51
C 40 42° cius right here all right I'm
5:55
getting in the cold pool first because I
5:57
do not want to have to get in this after
5:59
I get in the the hot
6:11
cold oh oh that's
6:11
cold that's cold so there's the regular
6:15

6:55

7:02
mixes with the not as hot water in here
7:06
it cools down when you get into here but
7:07
when it the water coming out of there is
7:08

around in this water all kinds of good
10:08
stuff the heat will burn it off
10:18
though thanks for the vot of
10:18
confidence so where do they get this mud
10:20
from where does this mud come from local
10:22
area here from this local mud all right
10:24
here's the benefits exfoliates softens
10:27
the Skins helps the joints
10:35
and it's relaxing and it's relaxing and
10:35
nutritive over into the really hot hot
10:37
pool for some reason it's warmer getting
10:40
out of the lukewarm mud bath into this
10:42
this feels way hotter than it was than
10:44
when I was in the cold 10° C pool and
10:48
got in here I am really warm inside here
10:52
right now inside the the hottest of the
10:54
hot
10:56
pools yeah exfoliated
11:05
works on the joints in here feeling
11:05
good sweating all the toxins
11:17
out look at this Ste how hot is this one
11:17
about 120 yeah 40 4 so normal hot tub's
11:21
like 80 no well I don't know it's it's
11:25
104 usually for hot tub F this is like
11:28
20 hotter than
11:30
regular this is hot you stayed in here
11:33
too long you probably pass out this is
11:36
short first that's why they have both
11:39
jump over should I jump in the I go over
11:43
there open them pores it's time going
11:46
from
11:47
the 100 plus degree water into the like
11:51
30 something degree water right here
11:53
I've seen other people do this they just
11:55
like slide their heiney on this spin
11:57
their legs around
12:27
1 way got to be honest though jumping
12:27
from the hot to the cold I feel pretty
12:30
refreshed I feel pretty refreshed doing
12:32
that it wasn't as uncomfortable once the
12:35
shock hit you but now now I kind of
12:37
understand the Polar Plunge which is way
12:39
colder but when you go from here which
12:41
is like hot with the mud and then you go
12:44
down to here which is 42° and then you
12:48
go into 10° C really is a shock to the
12:51
system and this is it's very hot right a
12:55
little hotter than a hot
12:56
tub but yeah I feel good I feel my hores
12:59
have bit opened up all right going to
13:01
start heading out now looking over on
13:04
the second floor of this building you
13:05

13:07
there you got the spires of that church
13:09
building going grab a taxi and start
13:12
heading back and getting ready to head
13:14
to the airport later there's a stained
13:15
glass window right there there's a
13:16
little restaurant up here too and you
13:18
got a good view of the city out this
13:21

14:19
place I'm glad I was able to be
14:27
here knew nothing about this place till

I came here
14:32

14:32
handle on a few
14:34
things it is uh coming down out there
14:36
now
14:38
taxi heading along in a taxi all right
14:41

14:44
for a little
14:45
bit now we're going to walk down get
14:47
some Mexican food uh place is evidently

pretty good I haven't had since I've
14:52

14:53
we got to go to the airport
14:55
so look at the traffic down there
15:03
almost
15:09
honking all right end up grabbing some
15:09
Mexican food from a place that my uncle
15:11
said open about 78 months ago he also
15:14
assured me that the size of the burritos
15:16
are bigger than any burrito I've ever
15:18
seen so we got two burritos to split
15:20
between the four of us and we also got
15:21
some nachos things like that it's
15:23
interesting there was there was a London
15:26
call box with the word be feeder on it
15:29
adjacent to the
15:32
restaurant and ended up getting a
15:34
sticker
15:35
also now we're walking back
15:43
over John's carrying the massive
15:43
burritos and I got the
15:45
nachos I mean the burritos are
15:48
like very lengthy very very lengthy I
15:51
got to show them when we get back size
15:53
of these
15:54
things that's one burrito well two
15:57
burritos
15:59
look at that that is the
16:01
burrito one's
16:03
chicken what was the other chicken and
16:06
beef this is a bur look at this
16:09
thing what the
16:12
heck that is
16:22
wild for an example this is these are
16:22
avocados that is a pretty decent sized
16:25
tomato in comparison to both of those
16:28
and the
16:29
nachos as well all right got a taxi
16:33
arriving soon going to head to the
16:36
airport here in quink go to keto for the
16:45
evening and then tomorrow back to the
16:45
States out of keto tomorrow today still
16:48
going to be in Ecuador but Way north of
16:52
here only about an hour flight this will
16:55
be my last view looking off the balcony
16:57
here
17:00
at this landscape of
17:37
from this angle all right just took the
17:37
taxi got dropped off and now have
17:41
arrived here at the airport
18:01
motorcycle coming in
18:01
hot Uncle saw us to the airport now
18:04
we're heading out my mom and I the
18:05
airline we are flying l l latam lat
18:09
latam okay all right mom has checked her
18:13
luggage on I went ahead and checked mine
18:14
on to figured since she was I will too
18:17
so our luggage will be seen when we get
18:19
off the plane in Kito now take a look at
18:22
that little plan just landed flying over
18:25
there that's a pretty cool little
18:26
airplane I think this might be
18:29
our plane right here so I think it's
18:32
affiliated with this other Airline so
18:34
you got
18:36
Lum then it's also affiliated with aanka
18:40
all right evidently they changed the
18:41
gates on us so I just checked the the
18:42
board and we had to be not gate three
18:45
like it say when boarding pass but gate
18:46
one and there it comes in the theam
18:50
airline that's the one we're getting off
18:52
I was a little confused when I checked
18:53
the board I believe we're supposed to be
18:56
going through Gate 1 not gate three so
18:59
gate three which says on our boarding
19:00
pass is right there but I was a little
19:02
confused thankfully I look at the board
19:05
so we'll go over to gate one which is
19:06
just a few feet now now this is nice
19:07
they get you a umbrella as you're
19:10
walking towards the plane I got one
19:13
Mama's got one and then you hand the
19:16
umbrella over
19:18
here and you give it back to them it's a
19:21
latam
19:28
umbrella and you hand it back to him
19:28
right here they stick it in this
19:42

20:51

20:54

20:57

20:59

21:00
gates and off off we go we're off into
21:04
the air a nice little view of the city's
21:06
gate when we landed here last week Kido
21:10
couldn't see anything cuz it was really
21:12
really overcast now it's just partially
21:15
overcast it's still overcast and rainy
21:17
but not quite as thick as it was when we
21:20
landed a week ago
21:22
here and we flew in from Orlando to
21:27
Atlanta l over and arrived in keto on
21:32

22:43
flight looks like there's a little
22:43
inclement weather here too as well a
22:46
little rain Landing in
22:53
keto probably going to get a little
22:53
turbulence drop it in through the clouds
23:04

23:04
rain smearing up across the window here
23:31
and I had never flown this Airline
23:31

23:34

25:55
for speech
26:13
this airport it is clean through here
26:13
look at the floors how clean everything
26:32

26:32
1408 Carousel

26:52
un
26:53
tired talking like an alien right now
26:55
look at his eyes like staring in at my
26:57
soul
27:02
it's like his hand is out like gripping
27:02
trying to take my soul from
27:06
me they also don't want you sitting on
27:09
this standing on this and do not put
27:13
your hands on this because it would not
27:15
end well see how it's like an
27:17
accordion it would definitely
27:20
pinch pinch the skin there
27:33
all right evidently there's a desk here
27:33
and they're calling the Windam Kito
27:35
airport and they're going to bring a
27:37
shuttle over so I thought we would do a
27:39
taxi but evidently there's a shuttle
