Local buses are awesome. Cheap, confusing, and entertaining always makes for good trips. We luckily made the two bus journey to the middle of the world pretty smoothly for a whopping 40 cents. In the middle point I got an awesome fruit and whip cream cup for a dollar! This made for one happy Libby!
We reached the he monument and had a blast taking pictures in the equator line. The funny thing is is that the monument is actually built in the wrong place. It still stands to honor the expedition of scientists that found the spot. However recent gps has given more accurate readings. Oh well I think it's impressive that these guys got this close!
Our group photos were funny as we posed half on each side of the earth.
In the monument we were able to learn about the science of the equator. The myth of toilet flushing is not true after all. The origin of he water is what effects toilets. The gravity only has an effect on large bodies of water.
Taking photos in the photo boothwas quite fun as we dressed up in traditional clothes.
Turns out you way one kilo less on the equator!
We bombarded the children's museum and played around like kids. I'm never growing up!
Although we tried to find the real equator we failed. A bit bummed I may try to go back another day so I can get my stamp. My name is passport envy after all and I need that stamp!
