Minneapolis to Atlanta
11 de junho de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
A brisk (long) walk to the gate at the opposite end of the terminal and we were straight on the next Delta plane. Again we left on time and enjoyed another movie and free wifi. No food only the smallest packet of chips and a coffee. We landed early - only to find out our next flight is running over an hour late - bonus because we get to eat!Leia mais

Atlanta Airport arrival
11 de junho de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
This airport is CRAZY busy. I googled and found out it’s the busiest airport in the USA and possibly in the world.
We had to take a train from the domestic terminal to the international terminal. Luckily because our flight has been delayed we get a chance to eat! Currently queuing outside TGI Fridays - hope we get in soon!Leia mais

Flight to Quito Ecuador
11 de junho de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
So after a delay of 1.5 hours we board our replacement plane - which I have to say had just lost Delta it’s 5 start rating with me. This plane had to be deep cleaned and they clearly pulled it out of an antique store. This was the most uncomfortable 5 hour flight I have taken.
The movie screen at the back of the seat was yellow where it was so old and smaller than my phone. But the real kicker was that I was so excited to have a window seat - but this one had NO WINDOW - Row 22 on this relic has no windows at all and very very little leg room. To top it all the plane was super noisy - thank good was for noise cancelling headphones!Leia mais

Atlanta to Quito Ecuador
11 de junho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
So we never made it to TGI as it was too busy. I ended up with a double expresso and a bbq chicken crepe.
The plane was delayed for 1.5 hours due to equipment failure- and quite clearly they scrambled around and found some old relic plane that required ‘deep cleaning’ before we could board.
The gangway was so so thin, and the screens on the back of the seats were smaller than my iPhone! It was a very cramped and noisy 5 hour flight, but we made it!! I didn’t even have a window in my window seat!
Gabby and her husband Jonny, their daughter and dog, Cyrus picked us up from the airport and took us to our hotel. We finally arrived at 11.00pm - what a huge day!!Leia mais

Ecuador arrival
11 de junho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
After a long uncomfortable flight we landed in Quito. We got through customs pretty quickly, and we’re grateful that our bags made it all the way through from Canada.
Gabby from Ecuador family tours picked us up with her husband Jonny driving, her 14 year old daughter, Jade, in the back and the Groodle, Cyrus with us too.
After a 45 minute drive we arrived at our hotel - Reina Isabela - room 403. The room was huge and comfortable- and eventually at midnight we made it to bed. 22 hours of travelling was certainly exhausting!Leia mais

Ecuador - Pululahua
12 de junho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Up bright and early at 6:30am we decided to make the most of the only day we are spending in Quito.
We booked a morning tour with Gabby and the Ecuador Family Tours.
With Jonny driving, Gabby explaining everything, and Cyrus just chilling - we headed to our fits stop - and probably with most beautiful place in Ecuador - Geobotanic Reserve of Pululahua.
The photos speak for them selves, but what you are looking at is the volcano crater. Lots of farms are built there as the ground is very fertile.
You just want to hope the volcano doesn’t erupt!Leia mais

Quito Cable Cars
12 de junho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Later on I faced my fear of heights and we took the cable car up to an elevation of 4000m for a monumental view of of the entire city of Quito. There was an awesome swing for us to get a couple of great photos but Jasin felt really sick from altitude sickness, dizzy nausea that has continued once we came down the mountain.
I’m tougher so it didn’t effect me as much!Leia mais

Galapagos Arrival
13 de junho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
The flight from Quito to Galapagos was a bit turbulent in a small A320 - but we made it in one piece. I was lucky to have a spare seat next to me which was a bonus. The wifi didn’t work - but we were able to charge our phones and I listened to some music.
After a smooth transfer through customs we took a bus ($5) then a boat ($1) then another bus ($5) to the town centre.
I’ll be honest I was expecting something old and remote - but it reminded me of a busy Balinese town. The bus driver didn’t go all the way to the ferry terminal - so we were just dropped off and headed towards the ocean.
We found a cafe and grabbed some lunch. I had a great expresso coffee and a very disappointing Cesar salad (wet warm lettuce with 6 small strips of chicken) . Jasin had a huge mango and coconut smoothie.
Now waiting for the boat transfer to Isabela - which we’ve been warned is hairy - 2 .5 hours of banging and crashing waves in a little boat. Wish us luck!Leia mais

Boat to Isabela Island
13 de junho de 2023, Equador ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
One thing we have learnt here in Galapagos is that you have to pay for everything. Entering the jetty, leaving the jetty, the tender to the boat, the tender off the boat, an arrival tax of $20 USD at Isabela - and all in cash!
On arrival at the jetty at Porta Ayora we saw seals 🦭 , crabs 🦀 and some tiny 🦎 iguanas.
The boat ‘New Ocean’ was one of the better ones with proper seats 💺 - and life jackets. It was one hell of a rocky trip so I just put my head phones on, listened to music and tried to zone out. We dosed up on anti nausea tablets and travel calms, and I didn’t feel sick at all.
It was overcast on arrival - but Isabela is definitely more quiet than Santa Cruz - it’s lovely so far!Leia mais
