Cuenca was our fourth Colonial town out of
five but in our opinion definately the best! It's the 3rd largest city in Ecuador but had the feel of a small town and felt very safe. We made the mistake of staying in Verde Limon (with our two new friends) which was dirty, noisy and run by crazy people but nevertheless habitable for one night especially after a few bottles of wine! The center of the city was lovely with loads of nice shops and restaurants (its only
a pity we had so little time there!) but we did find a great panama hat shop and also invested in two raincoats which we hope we don't need! Then on to another 4 hour bus journey through the misty mountains of Ecuador (you could barely see a foot ahead in places...fair play to the driver!) as we had to be in Guayaquil (pronounced WHY - A- KIL as we discovered when no one would sell us bus tickets to GUY-A-QUILL...pretty similar in my book!!!) as our Galapagos trip starts in the morning!
