We finished the bone-chillingly wet hike around the lake before 4 pm, had an early dinner at the closest place with food, went back to our room, and begged them for some fire wood. The room we had there was by far the smallest we'd stayed in so far. Thankfully, however, it was only big enough to squeeze in a queen-sized bed and a small wood stove. We burned that thing so hot, by the middle of the night we were opening the window to let in the below-freezing natural air conditioning. But, for those hours in the beggining...boy, that heat was good and necessary. I'm afraid, though, that the severe cold and wet then extreme boxed heat may be what lead to our eventual, yet fairly sudden, downturn in Banos.
Sorry, no pics of the room. This stove was our temporary savior while the hostel owners chopped us up plenty of wet wood.
