Chiva Chiva Chiva + Viva QUITO!!
Yes the once in a lifetime CHIVA bus experience is very different to the UK. Racing around QUITO city clinging to the top of a bus whilst dodging neck high power cables and branches may sound like a health and safety exec’s nightmare. However throw into the mix a band, whistle, a flag of Quito and obviously copious amounts of the local pop and you soon discover how fun a lack of nanny state rules can be. Yes we have just experienced our 1st Chiva journey and have survived albeit with a chochuci to tell the tale!
Yes it is the beginning of fiesta season here in Quito with the once a year fiesta de Torros coming to town. This has kicked off well with a party which will see us say goodbye for now to the Explorers club and our language institute and send us off to the rain forest for our conservation experience. The fun in Quito never seems to stop and it has been a great place full of great people. Still time is pressing and there is more to be done. Looking further to the future though and the accommodation for the RIO CARNIVAL is now confirmed and I guess some preparation is required. VIVA QUITO!
