Mindo- Cuenca

This morning we missed the 6:30am bus and were forced to take the 1:30pm to Quito. This actually worked out better because it gave me a chance to get more organized and do a bit of last minute birding around town.

The 1:30pm bus to Ophelia station got us there just in time to grab a taxi, get plane tickets and go through security before our flight to Cuenca at 5:20pm. The flight was very foggy but occasional glimpses of mountains peaked through. Cuenca is very old and our hotel is along Lamar. We are very close to good shopping areas and can walk to the centre of the city. Macundo is a very nice hostel with gardens and a kitchen you can use for making meals yourself. The nicest rooms are definitely the garden front or garden view. After seeing those I don't think I could stay in any other room in the hostel.
