After a day in Quito we headed off on a bus to a small town called Banos. This place is beautiful, set in a valley surrounded by mountains and another stunning volcano. It is the adventure capital of Ecuador and there is so much to do here. We were planning to rent bikes for the day but ended up going canyoning down stunning waterfalls!

| Here we are, kitted up and ready to go. |
We warmed up on a smaller waterfall of about 8 metres, where we had to jump backwards into the water at the bottom. We built up progressively after that, doing 4 different abseils until we made it to the last one, a 45 metre drop!

Initially we were behind a group of four Argentinian guys but we were faster than them so we ended up together. They were amazed at Eva. She was so brave, often going first - even down the big waterfall. One of the guys didn't even do it!

| There she goes, our fearless leader over the edge |
Once again my daughter has blown me away with her fantastic attitude and her ability to get in there and give things a go. The elation on both of our faces as we did our little victory boogie at the bottom was priceless!
