Puerto Ayora

---

So we have flown today to Baltra Island in the Galapagos, and from there caught a bus to the ferry, which really only transports you across the river, and then to another bus to Puerto Ayora which is about 50 mins away. This place is gorgeous. It reminds me a little of Inverloch 20 years ago, but with a little more charm. There are lots of nice restaurants and the pier area is nicely decked out and covered with little marine Iguana's!
The rocks below are dotted with orange and red crabs called Sally Lightfoot that also run up and down the walls with the Iguana!
Our hotel doesnt have a name yet because it isnt finished or approved by the tourism board, but it is really nice, and operates above the Galapagos Deli where they make their own icecream :-) The floors and stairs are all done in lava rock.
So we head off on our sailing adventure tomorrow. Back to the airport in Baltra to pick up our
guide Samuel, and its out into the wide blue yonder :-)
