We got into Quito at 1am... and decided to stay the night at the airport, since our flight to the Galapagos was so early in the morning. VERY uncomfortable... slept on seats pushed together, lots of people conversing next to us even in the middle of the night and finally the loud speaker going off with some kind of announcement. Needless to say, we didn´t get much shut eye.
The flight from Quito to the Galapagos was a complete mess... we were delayed by 45 min... and then rerouted... and finally didn´t arrive until 4 hours later. I, fortunately, didn´t really feel the frustration, since I took an antihistamine that knocked me out (I got bit on the eye by a bug and took Benadryl to reduce the swelling!)
Finally arrived in Galapagos - yay warm weather! Amazing... love it! We´re staying with my friend Teresa, who I know from my first advertising agency job and who I played soccer with.
TODAY (14th) - Mark, Teresa and I went diving with an company called Macarron. Fantastic! We saw hammerheads, white and black tip sharks, all sorts of rays, turtles, sea lions, etc... AMAZING!!!
Tonight, we´re going to enjoy a few beers at the Bongo, THE bar to go to on Santa Cruz (Puerto Ayora) Island. And tomorrow morning, Mark and I are going on an 8-day boat cruise around all of Galapagos. The boat is called Rumba, in case anyone wants to do a quick Google search. Anyway, no Internet on board... so it´s radio silence until after the cruise...
