In 3 hours (21 o'clock) leaving on a night bus to Piura, Peru. At 7 o'clock should be there. Haven't decided yet if we go to Huaraz next or rather straight to Pisco.
Spent the last two nights in Cuenca, first in the stylish El Cafecito (which everybody recommends, but which was expensive, 25 USD for dbl with bath, and loud) and then in Hotel Pichincha (11 USD for dbl without bath).
Cuenca is a nice little town with lots of cute cafeterias and many churches. All the museums are closed during the weekend (why?), so there was not much that we could have otherwise done, but luckily Pedro, an old friend from the Zurich days, drove us around showing Cuenca at night (good views from Turi and Baños), and the villages around Cuenca (highlight: the church of Biblián).
Ecuador in general has been great, although we had to cancel some planned mountain climbing and wasted a lot of time doing nothing in Baños. Galapagos was probably the highlight, more about it in another post.
