Baños

I took a 7 hours bus from Cuenca to Ambote. Next to me sat a fat old dude who was to greedy to pay for a seat for his daughter. So I had about half a seat. When things were already bad the kid started to vomit every 15 minutes. In Ambote I switched to a bus to Baños. Just after we got going a guy from the company placed my small backback on the shelf above. Even though I never put my backpack there I thought - what the hell, this bus seems to be much better than the one before. Arriving in Baños I wanted to take my backpack, but it was not there anymore. After cursing for a minute and checking out the whole bus I had to accept things looked bad. I messed with the police afterwards, but they werent able to do anything. The next morning I made a complaint at the police station. They didn't seem to be interested at all and just wrote down everything. So I lost my small backback, my 2.5 weeks old camera, the jacket I bought in Caracas, the LP and some other things I liked.
After that I was depressed and whatched a lot of TV and ate even more pizzas. Now I'm strolling through Baños, which is famous for the hot water pools and hiking. Tomorrow I'll go the pools and leave for Quito in the hope to be more lucky further on. And I have to buy another camera. Damn it
