Day 10 – Galapagos Islands


A more relaxing day than usual, or perhaps just quieter as a really loud Canadian woman has left the boat, and we only had to get up at 7am. Our first stop was a visit to the giant tortoise sanctuary on Santa Cruz island. I'm not sure why we had to go that early as the tortoises are really not rushing to go anywhere.


At 12 we bade farewell to another six cheapskates who had only paid for a four night tour and got ready for another load of passengers arriving later that day. Unfortunately the Canadian fellas jumped ship along with Pedro, Paulo and Pablo who are all the same person but we never did quite gets to grips with which name was his real one - however there was no mistaking his gleaming fake nashers.


The new people turned up in the late afternoon and we have replaced five Canadians with five Germans so although the Galapagos baby seals are breathing a sigh of relief, it means I won't see a sunbed for the rest of the trip.
