We have met a lot of young people from New Zealand and Australia. They are all just taking time off to see the world. Good for them. We had dinner with one young man, Phil, from New Zealand who was at our hotel. Took us to an area in Old Town call La Ronda. It was a really cool area bustling with small cafés and a traveling minstrel that went from cafe to cafe playing and singing. Two young girls that we met from Australia have taken 5 months off to backpack South America. The hostels for young people run around $12 a night. Cabs are really cheap and busses are even cheaper. A four hour trip from Riobamba to Cuenca is going to cost us $8 and will give me a chance to perfect my Spanish.
