Cuenca at night

19th November
This is quite a nice town.
The hostel has a lovely view of the cathedral.
The architecture is quite good which is not typical for equador.
The most common roofing material in equador is corrigated iron and whenever anyone builds anything they like to leave the option open to build another story. This means that most building have metal bit sticking up to alow for the next story when they get around to it. This creates the typical equadorian unfinished style of arcitecture. Here is quite different though. We went to quite a snobby bar last night. A drunk guy claiming to be an off duty police officer kept showing us his id and insisting that we buy him a drink. We just fained ignorance of the language and lost him as soon as possible. So I had quite a plesent lie on this morning and am off to see more of the town.
