Colonial Cuenca

Cuenca, Ecuador, 10 - 11 October 2007

Next stop was, Cuenca, one of Ecuadors most beautiful Colonial cities declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1999. The city is charming due to it´s narrow cobbled streets, balconied houses with interior courtyards & abundance of flashy white churches.

Getting in quite late we grabbed some food & hit the sack. Next morning we were awoken at 7am to the sounds of two workmen plastering the other side of our bedroom wall. We moved to another hotel & then set off on a walking tour of the city.

Whilst in one of the cities many churches we bumped into, no - not Peter & Carol, but Ben & Hannah, a couple we had met the day before on the train journey! We made arrangements to meet up later & went for dinner together. A very sociable evening was had over a fine meal & a few beers.
