    Galapagos - Puerto Ayora Again

    November 24, 2017 in Ecuador ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    It's 9 am and we have just finished our complementary breakfast in our fancy hotel on the Puerto Ayora waterfront. Our tour itinerary listed us as only being entitled to two breakfasts on the first two days. Our tour companions also seem to have paid significantly more than us. Putting it all together, it seems that we did book the cheaper tour but, due to a lack of numbers, they had to bundle both cheap and deluxe together. We're not complaining.

    We visited a park yesterday and saw more tortoises. Guides spent four hours marching us around before releasing us for lunch. Walked to a night food market in the evening. Similar to the ones in Wellington, just with more questionable hygiene. Too many stray animals, exposed food etc.

    Now desperately researching options for watching the nix at 12:30 am (Sat NZ). Internet is bad so may have to live stream radio sports audio instead. Worst case, I'll ring baba and he can stick the phone by the TV speakers.

    Louis has now eaten too much free breakfast and feels sick. He'll feel even worse on our speed boat ride at midday. I'm not sitting next to him.
