Galapagos

---

We flew from Sao Paulo to Galapagos with a stop over in Quito, Equador. It had been a long flight, since we had to fly over Lima in Peru. At the airport we took a taxi to the old city. The taxi driver wanted to make a quick buck so he had a meter that metered the distance instead of the peso's. Besides that he drove a very long way around town, so he could get more meters on his meter!
But we knew it would cost only $10 instead of $22, so that's is what we paid after a some intimidation back and forth.
The old city in Quito is very old and has beautiful buildings and narrow streets. We stayed at a nice hostel, were we could also book a tour to the Galapagos Islands. We were able to get a last minute on the Deep Blue, it is one of the nicer boat's!
After arriving in Galapagos we first had 10 days to discover the islands and find out what the land looks like. We saw many galapagos iguana's.
On teh 19th we checked in on the deep blue. We made 0ver 16 dives at different locations around galapagos. The climax was diving at Darwin and Wolf Island, 200 miles above the Galapagos main Islands. We dived with hundreds of hammerhead sharks and dolfin's. We were watching them at 30 m coming from the deep ocean floor, while hunting for food.
