On our way south towards the Peru boarder, we made a stop off in the city of Cuenca. Known for its skilled Panama hat makers (they actually originate from Ecuador), we were looking forward to checking out the local hat makers creations. We'd be shown many a picture by travellers on our way. Unfortunately it wasn't to be, it was a Sunday and the whole city was in total lock down. So we entertained ourselves with a long stroll along the river Tomebamba, drank lots of cups of tea (it's chilly) and took many a photo of the general colonial loveliness. We passed through a gem of a flower market, as one of Ecuador's biggest exports they sure know how to make a beautiful rose!
