hey guys we are now in cuenca ecuador we really hated to leave the galapagos islands but you
know we couldn't afford to stay there forever and there wasn't that much to do other than snorkeling
and hiking and i like to go to the city every once in a while so anyway we are here in cuenca
and we are here for a month and in this first video we are going to tour our airbnb
we're going to go to the papua museum and we're going to go out to eat
at capitan restaurant which if you're ever in ecuador kranka specifically obviously
go there it's really really good and we had a great time let's go check out some of the sights
so we just arrived in cuenca and i thought i would give you a tour of our airbnb before we mess it
up so as you walk in the door there's a dining table and we have a balcony that has two chairs
and a couch and some end tables we have a little tv a sectional sofa which is nice
we turn around we have a full kitchen it looks to be pretty well stocked we have
an oven a cooktop microwave fridge and a luxury for garrett we have a dishwasher
so he doesn't have to do it by hand and then this is a two bedroom two bath
airbnb which is a plus and so we have a hall bath which is has a bathtub which is nice
and if we go down the hall a little bit further we have a second bedroom which has
bunk beds but a queen bed on bottom so that's where garrett's going if he's bad
then we enter the master suite we have a bidet a shower a toilet in cuenca just fyi if you
ever come you cannot at least at this airbnb you cannot flush your toilet paper and then we have a
big wardrobe a skylight and we have a king-sized bed i think yes and we have another balcony with
a couple of chairs and later on i will take you on a tour of the grounds they are beautiful as well
we are at the museum of papa pongo i'm saying that wrong and we are outside
and there are incan ruins here and this building is not an incan ruin but it is
a former uh college from what we can tell so we're up on the hill and we are looking down
on a garden that grows like the food that they would have grown in the past
and there are alpacas down there so i'm gonna go try to see if i can pet an alpaca
so these are i don't even know what you would call these switchbacks that i guess the incans
would use to like climb up to the top that's my guess i should look it up or it's just to hold
the ground in so there's not erosion one of the two anyway to the alpacas
so i can't get any closer to the alpacas but um they and they're tied up so that's
sad but i guess they're here to help with landscaping they're super cute i need to pet one
we're in cuenca here at the museo puma pungo i'm guessing how the pronunciation is you come in it's
free we went through an exhibit on kind of like the history of the people's in the region in the
back they have these awesome incan ruins uh they have a big garden and some alpacas that stephanie
tried to pet but was unsuccessful but we got a few pictures of her standing over there now we
are heading over to the bird rescue area so it's been a great trip so far we'll see how it goes
so there are macaws in here along with calla lilies which are my favorite flower and from
what i've heard on uh other channels is that these birds were confiscated from people that took them
illegally and that is punishable by jail time i think of seven years i'm not sure you can see
this very well but these are some savannah hawks and these things are pretty dang big
here are some red-billed parrots and their habitats are really nicely done
here they look like they have an ample room to fly a lot of these birds are injured and
that's why they're here or they were tamed and cannot be released back into the wild
so we are at capitan restaurant here in cuenca ecuador and we got here at about 5 40 and they
were between the lunch and dinner shift and it looks really good and we were very glad they let
us in they brought us some garlic bread which we have devoured and some ahi and we have a couple of
beers i've ordered the filet and garrett what did you order shrimp and rice okay awesome and then we
will show you what that looks like when we get it our food has arrived garrett has shrimp and rice
with some veg and then i have steak shrimp mashed potatoes green beans and we ordered two more beers
and i wish we had smell-o-vision because that it looks and smells so good i want to eat and
garrett wants to eat dinner's over almost mine was excellent i forgot some left stephanie cleaned her
plate and uh we're really happy who came here to be captain for dinner i hope you liked this week's
