Galápagos Islands, Ecuador 🇪🇨 

Last island today as we get up early to circumnavigate Daphne Island.  This small island is home to the Finches which show evolutionary changes in a couple of years and it was the study of these that helped Darwin prove his theories.  We enjoy the birds flying and the trusty Frigate birds hovering over the boat.

Once we have finished breakfast it is time to say our goodbyes to the crew and travel to the airport.  I manage to get a Galápagos stamp in my passport before we leave for Quito.  We arrive in Quito in the late afternoon and after a quick dip in the outdoor pool we sneak Hayley and Rob into the lounge for a few glasses of vino tinto.  

Justin has been craving a burger, so the four of us walk down to Plaza Foch, and a place that does stuffed burgers with cheap beer.  Colin and Kate find us, so the six of us order a couple more rounds for a merry last night.
