    Telferico II

    A couple of photos from last week. One gringo, one Dominicana $450 pesos (100 extra for being a gringo).

    We were standing in line and the car returns. They do not let us board, instead this guy jumps on to the top of the car with what looks like a motorcycle tire turned inside out. he went up to the tower for "Maintenance". Instills a lot of confidence....

    You definitely got there on a clear day; makes all the difference in the world. Was the magician up top doing his thing?
    If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..

    Mr Happy is right. Best to be there just before the ticket office opens on a day when the mountain is free of mist to beat the queues and enjoy ida y vuelta with clear views.
