    Reconnecting in Galapagos

    7–12 dec. 2024, Ecuador ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We're loving reconnecting with people, places and nature in and around Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, where we lived from 2008-2011, and also Mark was here from 1998-2000.

    So grateful to be staying with dear friend Noémi at Punta Estrada, which is separated from the busy town by a water taxi ride and a walk between houses, rocks, mangroves, lagoons and a beach.

    Mark's been in full action working with the local helper, Sixto, to fix up things around the house, ready for the French parents visiting next week. Molly and I helped neighbour Collette do a kitchen blitz, and Molly, Moz and Noemi set up the Christmas tree 🎄.

    Mark reckons that it took 2 hours to walk from the wharf to the research station at the other end of town, stopping every 5 minutes for another conversation - "haven't seen you for years!" etc. . And this will continue 😊...    Meer informatie
