i arrived at the bus terminal in quayquil and decided to get to my hotel using public transport as it didn't seem too far away. i found the local bus station with the help of a bystander but before being able to take the bus, i had to get a local bus card (including image). this accomplished, i waited in a massive queue to get on the next bus with all my stuff! i secured a seat (by a bit of magic) and was on my way! all was going fabulously until it was time to get off - the bus was jam packed and it was near impossible to get to the door with everything but i managed just in time :)
i spent most of my time in quayquil near the water, trying to avoid some of the intense heat that radiated intensely here. i wandered the fairly newly developed malecon - a waterfront boardwalk area with a children's play area and shopping, visited las penas - a historic neighbourhood with a lighthouse and pirate museum and visited a museum detailing the settlement of quayquil.
it was a reasonable day, particularly considering the only reason i'm here is because it's where i'm flying to the galapagos from...
ciao,
sarah
