On the move

Post baños we went to Alausi to ride the crazy Devil´s nose train.
Got on the 530am train to get there early enough to get a ticket.
Rode between the driver and the staircase on the bus.
Got to Alausi at 730.
Sat on a bench until 830. Bought tickets. Found out people died on the top of the bus so you can´t ride on top ( the whole reason we were going).
Sat around this tiny town until 1130 when then TRAM came. NOT TRAIN.
30 minute ride around a valley. Very lame. Waste of money.

After this we started our journey to Cuenca.
This is a long story that requires a bottle of bourbon to be told.
This is that crazy story.

I feel like we´ve been gone for weeks.
We talk about you all a lot, and miss you all.
For now, we keep truckin´through Cuenca.
Beautiful city with more adventures, then off to Peru.

  3. Morgan- Pepper spray hides in the purse. We met some brits and a ginger guy from Quebec.

    Molly- the hostel we had picked was in old town. We got there at night and almost got mugged...the cab driver took us to a nicer place cause it was 2am, but other travellers have said old town isn´t that dangerous. Research your hostel carefully in Quito and try and get there early in the day!
