Cuenca

Billy's horse was unfriendly at first but he soon had her doing as she was told. Mine on the other hand was a little sod and wouldn't go through puddles and kept lagging behind the group to eat grass. Sure enough it wasn't long before he stepped on barbed wire having totally ignored my attempts to stear him clear of it. I had to hold on tight whilst he panicked and bucked, stopping only for a few seconds so I could jump clear of him. Apart from that the ride was really enjoyable as we rode through the Cuencan countryside.

Discovered we have both been carrying around special souvenirs from our travels: two amoebic parasites. Lovely!
