Living at the beach is nice and relaxing but since I didn't have any project to work on, we decided to go traveling for a few days and explore more of Ecuador.We left Canoa by bus at 4.30 in the morning. After only two hours of sleep and a few too many beers the night before, the first hours on the bus where spend sleeping. Basically all day was spend on buses or in bus stations. The first bus only was a short half hour ride to Bahia where we just made the bus to Portoviejo. There we didn't have to wait and immediately got on the bus to Quevedo.
After long and hot five hours we finally arrived. At the terminal we bought the tickets for the next bus and had lunch. The bus was scheduled to leave 12.30 and we got to the platform at 12.32. Well, unfortunately that was too late, even in South America. The bus left on time. Or even earlier. The office of that bus company was closed and we had to buy tickets from another company. Luckily the tickets aren't too expensive here and the bus left less than 30 minutes later. After about an hour the bus stopped. There was construction going on at a bridge and the police didn't allow buses to pass. So we had to wait for an hour before we could go on. It was hot but luckily we could leave the bus and walk around and watch the construction. As the bus was climbing up the mountains (we had to get over an almost 4000 m pass) it got rainy, foggy and colder. Much colder. As we got near the pass we got above the clouds and the views were amazing. Finally, after another six hours on the bus we got to Ambato.
