Galapagos Islands - Cruise
Thu 16/4 - Sun 20/4
We have now reached The Galapagos Islands by air from Quito - Giuyaquil. The Galapgos have never been connected with the continent. Gradually, over many hundred of thousands of years, animals and plants from over the sea somehow migrated there and as time went by the adapted themselves to Galapagos conditions and came to differ more and more from there continetal ancestors. The islands are formed over a hotspot in the west giving birth to islands were cold and warm currents meets and affects the unique environment.
We arrived to Puerta Ayora from were we will take a four day trip on Aida Maria. A cruise that will take us around the archipelago of Galapagos, inculding Santa Cruz, Rabida, Santiago, Bartholome and North Seymore. The cabin on the boat was quite tiny but we at least had our own shower. Three course lunch and dinner was standard and the food was great. All the food and drinks were served with elegance from our own alltiallo Victor who bye the way makes the best capriña. Everyday a guided tour on the islands were included as well as snorkeling.
