Day 157 – Money bags (and shoes!)
With heavy shoes (crooks are wise to money belts these days) we were in a shared taxi to Loja by 8.30am. From Loja we hopped on a bus and from the terminal we got a taxi to the centre. About 6 hours later, the taxi driver dropped us almost at the door of the bank, we entered, drew out the rest of the cash needed, emptied our shoes, deposited the lot and went out for ice-cream to celebrate!
Matt has never felt so rich!
After that it was only an hour or two until dinnertime so we went for a walk around, stopped in at ‘Zoe’ for a happy our cocktail and then on to El Maíz for dinner. El Maíz served delicious Ecuadorian influenced dishes and while Matt and I had a couple of standards (lamb and fish), Anna tried the goat!
After dinner we returned to our snazzy room at Casa del Barranco. Having arrived late and with no other rooms available they gave us the nice one, which meant Matt and I had the ´master bedroom´downstairs, whilst Anna had the ´kids room´in the loft!

WOW that looks a bit flash, nice one. Hope the upstairs bed wasn't kid-sized!
Nope. Had 3 beds. Contemplated setting alarm so that I could sleep in them all! "Mum and Dad" said I couldn´t have friends over, so it seemed the only solution.
