Let's go galapagos

Early start from Quito, into a taxi and full of excitement we were off. We left behind murky and rainy Quito for the blue skies of Galapagos. Flew over wide rivers meandering through dense jungle. Little did we know that in a week' s time we would be in that jungle!!!!!

Ages to go through customs .... emerged into the sun and immediately felt like a disgorged tourist as we leapt onto a bus.... always have trepidation about non independent travel. Mauricio was our guide and luckily spoke great English. At the dock met the other 8 members of the group. In the distance our catamaran bobbed up and down. Frigate birds circled gracefully over head, the sun beat down, sealions slept lazily on park benches designed for people............mmm suddenly had the feeling this was going to be good!
