Cuenca free day, up 7.30am meet Sarah, Julia and Sybylla at 9am for breakfast, interesting discussion this morning as everyone is feeling a bit emotional missing partners and family, I am ok but am feeling for Sarah especially as she is quite upset and has some issues to resolve we can only hopefully give some helpful advice. Sang appears and wonders what is happening, we all decide to head off together leaving at 10am to walk to panama hat factory where Julia makes a purchase. We continue wandering in and out of churches taking many photos along the way. Sarah takes us up hill and down dale looking for a nice little seafood restaurant for lunch that she saw previously whilst out walking. Funnily enough Sarah was the only one who doesn't enjoy her meal as it has in it something resembling small black caterpillars and doesn't look very appertising unlike the rest of our meals. We head back to our accommodation and Sarah, Julia and I decid at 2pm to get a taxi ($4.50) and go to the thermal springs for the afternoon, the water is very hot at 36 degrees so can't stay in for very long at a time but is very relaxing. Back to our rooms 4.30pm where Sarah and I continue on from our conversation over breakfast. Dinner tonight 7pm, I have crumbed shrimps, fries and rice and some pina coladas. After dinner we decide to kick on for drinks at Jack Rock Cafe(previously Hard Rock) where we have tequila shots and possibly too many other drinks but we are on holiday and really must try the local quisine which of course includes the drinks. This is Sarah and Sybylla's last night with us as they fly back to Quito tomorrow, Sarah to go on to the Galapagos and then into jungle for 2 weeks to volunteer on an animal rehabilitation program and Sybylla to return home to Germany, we will miss them both as they have been great company and a lot of fun.
