Next stop on the way South was Cuenca, a colonial city. After a look at the nice city we went shopping. Babsi was looking for a hat for her mother so we went to THE hatter of Cuenca who is manufacturing the famous Panama hats. Afterward I was looking for a nice Christmas present for Elli.

After the hike around the Laguna Quilotoa Claudia und I did not feel too good so we headed back to Quito to see a doctor. Of course, I stayed in Casa Bambu again. Thanks to all the awesome people staying there for the very warm welcome I got! And the caring over the next few days! Helped a lot!

First stop in South America. Big and busy city. A bit too much for me, especially after the last exhausting weeks back home.
