Day 34 Sunday, April 7th Guayaquil, Ecuador to Cuenca, Ecuador.

We catch to open topped red tourist bus for a look around Cuenca old town and it’s outskirts. Not bad, it needs that UNESCO help-not sure why my taxes should help a local hotel owner repair his balcony though.

The hotel charges us just $8 to keep the room until 6.30pm and we have booked an overnight bus leaving at 9.30pm to Ambato (arrives at 3.30am unfortunately) so we catch a 45minute bus-ride to Los Banos which is our next destination.
