Parque explora
On the 29th we set off on a scorching hot day on the metro to Parque Explora (Explorer Park), a massive interactive science museum. We started off with all the gimmicks and contraptions which included a roller-coaster for marbles to wind down, massive water-gun turrets, contraptions to pump water upwards and an enormous slinky. After we had a play around with the giant scale toys, we went to check out the aquarium. It held some of the most amazing species of fish. The tropical ones were the most beautiful with scales of an incredible spectrum of fluorescent colours. After we made our way through the aquarium we went to the reptile enclosure. It housed, an Anaconda, a boa constrictor and a range of other snakes. There were also turtles, reptiles and alligators. Next were the spiders including tarantulas. But the most poisons thing of all was a species of frog found in Colombia, the most poisoness in the world.
We then moved onto the interactive exhibits which contained lots of hands on activities. We stayed there until closing before going to meet everyone for our Chiva Bus.
Chiva buses are converted 70's trucks that were used to transport coffee around the country. They are now beautifully painted up and used as party buses giving tours around the city. Our bus contained several rows of bench seats and a dance floor in the middle. The open aired bus took the party around the city stopping at several of the parks that are epically decorated with excessive Christmas lights. We partied all night to the loud music and strobe-lights aboard the bus true Colombia style with lots of dancing and drinking.
