Cuenca
Cuenca; the capital of Azuay Province. Most Ecuadorians consider Cuenca to be their country's most beautiful city and it's hard to find anyone who would argue. Cuenca means river basin or bowl in Spanish, and the city is situaded at 8,3335 ft on the banks of the Tomebamba River. The city has retained its colonial architecture and feel, with new construction in a neocolonial style that is compatible with existing structures. No boxy skyscrapers to obliterate the surrounding mountains! Instaid, the blue domes of the new cathedral dominate the skyline. Because of its cobblestone streets, interior patios and public plazas overflowing with flowers and greenery, and whitewashed buildings with huge, old wooden doors and ironwork balconies, Cuenca is a walker's delight. In fact, you really need to wander at slow and gentle pace to appreciate and absorb the datails of the city.

My daypack has been stolen. It contained 300 quids worth of gear and
it´s all gone. My Ipod, fleece, sunglasses, swiss army knife, first aid
kit, even my Lonely Planet Guidebook, the lot.
Four of us were sat in a cafe having lunch, the bag was on my right but
slightly behind me. I even thought about dragging it forward and
wrapping a strap around my leg but decided that it wasn´t necessary.
But clearly it was - someone who had been eating in the cafe obviously
just pulled th...

Quito, Ecuador -› Banos, Ecuador -› ...
After our disappointing day in Alausi, the Germans and I continued on to Cuenca together with hopes of green pastures. The light drizzle could not the hide the beauty of this Spanish feeling colonial town as we walked the streets in the morning. The Inca ruins in town were a bit of a joke, the whole area was only about 20 meters by 20 meters and the highlight was nothing more and a part of a stone wall. The morning drizzle turned into an afternoon downpour ...
