To The Other Side

It was one of the most beautiful boat rides they had ever had in their life: stunning, a little bit scary, smooth, and chanting. Bambina had to get used to the feeling of instability of the boat, it took some time. But, when she finally could confide in the captain and trust in his knowledge of the river, she was able enjoy the ride. Being so close to the water changed their perception of the river and nature around. It's like the difference between going by car and by bicycle on land. This boat was a bicycle. They were so much more in contact with the surroundings, they could easily touch the water, they saw white birds flying around, and the jungle seemed much closer this time.

Swinging Monkeys

Cuenca => Baños

To safe some time to make it early into the Amazon Basin the monkeys had decided to go to Baños by busses. First they had to take a bus to Ambato, then from Ambato to Baños. Ambato is the provincial capital of Tungurahua, and everybody who travels to Baños has to change buses here. The first trip takes around four and a half hours. Even though the monkeys left Cuenca late at night, they arrived to Ambato very early in the morning.

Once Bimbino had to leave the bus everything went so fast that still half sleeping he realized that he had forgotten Bambina on the bus only when it had already left the terminal. He had to wake up and react quickly.
