Dondé est Baños

I'm in Baños. It means 'toilet' in Spanish. That appeals to my juvenile mind. The town itself is suitably weird: they make toffee on the street; the first building I saw was an insect museum and the last meal I had had broccoli as a garnish and geometric chips.

Visited Pailon del Diablo yesterday - the Devil's Throat. A local guy told us that it's one of the Top Ten waterfalls in the world (but he would say that, right). I'd not heard of it, but then I think I can only think of five and a half waterfalls (Angel, Iguazu, Niagra, Victoria, Guilfloss, that one in British Guyana - anymore for anymore?), so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Either way it was pretty impressive and made me very wet.

Went canyoning after. I got fairly wet then too. abseilingdownriverstastic.

Powerscourt Falls in Co. Wicklow, Ireland: the second highest in Europe. Don't know what the first most highest is.

Now you know more.
