AC Cuenca

... to our strange hosts, but after a few hours of repetitive music and and drunken Spaniards we figured we should head back.<br><br> The weekend being over, things calmed down considerably in the city. The next day was spent mainly resting and talking at the hostel, and seeing a few sights around the city, which are few and far between it seems. We had a good enough time checking out some street shops in the tourist areas, and taking silly ...

... et j'adore les hommes agents de securite ou les chauffeurs de toutes sortes qui font des pieds et des mains pour me comprendre... Je comprends assez bien le gros des conversations, mais repondre, parfois, c'est un peu difficile!! Mais j'essiae. Et on finit toujours par se faire comprendre. C'est drole. *** Je vais dire ce que mon ancienne collegue en Allemagne - Ulla - m'a deja dit: il faut ...

... Las casas colgadas y los llamados rascacielos (casas construídas en las rocas con hasta once plantas) son muy picturescos. Cuenca debe ser un lugar ideal para retirarse por un par de días del ajetreo de otras ciudades vecinas. Sin embargo, nos quedamos un poco decepcionados. La zona nueva es indescriptiblemente anodina y la antigua parece tener vida sólo en temporada alta ,pues había únicamente una cafeter ...

... en montagne composé de rochers qui, avec l'errosion, ont pris des formes particuliéres. On y reste une heure á faire cette belle ballade, c'etait vraiment tres beau. Redescente de la montagne pour retour en ville avant d'aller, en debut d'apres midi, grimper une colinne qu'on avait vue sur la route de ce matin. Belle balade le long de rochers, en hauteur, avec une super vue sur un paysage que vous verrez sur les ...

... the 15 minute wak up the hill to town, we sought refuge in a bar to have a spot of lunch. For some reason, Virg has managed to travel entirely around the world without adding "Face like a slapped a**e" to her collection of useful, but not altogether nice, stock English phrases. This was all about to change as we looked into cold, desperate eyes of a waitress, whose day we´d clearly ruined by having ...

... une bonne sieste de 30mn avant de continuer. Nouvel arrèt pour manger. J'etais encore brouillé de l'estomac que je n'ai pas pu finir le sandwich ! Non mais franchement, ètre malade en vacances !!! On a finalement réussi á finir la route pour arriver á la ville de Cuenca. J'etais tellement fatigué qu'on a pris le 1er hotel qui se presentait. C'est un hotel 3 etoiles !!! Mais les pris étaient trés résonnables alors parfait ! J'ai fait immediatement une ...

... situation. Just after we bought our train tickets these two police officers asked us for our passports then they took our passports and called HQ. I have no idea what was said but apparently we passed. This is also where my camera stopped working. Well it works but I just don't have any more room left on my card. **** camera.

... we cleaned the hostel out of honeycakes (I snuck a few for the road) and headed out. We had to stop for gas, which was a whopping 40 euros. Ouch. In order to make the most of our new tank of gas, Chantal waited until we were several miles on the road before realizing she had left her phone at the hostel. So another detour later, we chugged along to Cuenca. It was a very scenic route through the mountains. It was ...

... beer in my glass, even though the other half is gone. But this oversleep was not really my fault. It was because of the Spanish TV that shows some ... shameless programs after the midnight. The programme I watched first was so exxxciting, you cannot find any equivalent in Eastern Asia. I actually read an article that in China, you can get executed by watching something even less explicit (or "sensored", to be direct), that can only be ...

... budget hotels with private rooms). The first hotel had a single room for 27 euro, but of course I had to walk around to compare the prices. Anyhow, it was great to know that my spanish was good enough to ask the prices around. Thanks for Hector my Peruvian flatmate. The second hostal was peculiar. It did not have a entrance or reception desk, but only a sign outside of an apartmnent building ...
