    Galapagos

    November 21, 2017 in Ecuador ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Tired and dealing with awful internet so only a brief post.

    Flew to Galapagos island chain, took speed boat to largest island Isla Isabela. Driven at lunatic speed by the captain. Eyob threw up, Louis took pictures.

    Galapagos is volcanic and much of it is desolate wasteland. Thus mostly inhabited by reptiles (volcanic lizards, iguanas, tortises etc). They are old and don't move much.

    Found a run-down football pitch, bought a ball and had a kick around. Some local kids (8-9 y/o) came over and challenged us. Most were very good technically and had a great touch - I was impressed. We introduced them to New Zealand football by knocking them off the ball.

    Won't attach pics as that will probably bring down the island's internet.
