Today I caught the bus from Cuenca for the journey to Alausi. It only took around 4 hours and arrived into Alausi at around 1pm but the bus didn't stop in Alausi, so I had to alert the driver to stop. Before I knew we were pulling out of the town and I had to hurriedly get off the bus. I had to get a taxi back down to the centre of town which only $1. The main reason people stop off at this little town is to ride the train down the famous Nariz del Diablo (Devil's Nose). I went to the train station but the ticket office was closed for the day and I had to come back at 7am the following morning.
There was not much to do in the little town of Alausi Most places were closed for the day. I had a walk up to the statue of San Pedro with views of the town and the mountains., even with the low cloud!
That's about it for this blog.
Cheers,
Duncan
