WOW
Hi Andrea! Just wanted to say - HOW lucky are you!?!!! What a fantastic opportunity to visit the Galapogos , of course the right decision was made - who knows when would you ever get the opportunity again. Thanks for the postcard, we've arrived back from Turkey and had a great time. Chris is off to India next week though, his passport is getting a bit dog-eared, but not as much as yours will be I bet! I will show the kids your pictures of the animals, no doubt Eric will get his atlas out and want to know all about where you are etc. He knows more about countries, flags and capital cities than I do ( I think it all began with an interest in football teams around the world) 3 more weeks left of the summer holidays for me - Hooray! - Take care, Love Caroline

Tour Operators...
Hi John I got my deal through Dreamkapture Travel in Guayaquil. They also have a hostel. They were really good and in all honesty I think I got the best deal possible. They will tell you the various options available to you. When I got to Quito I saw the same cruise on offer for the same time and boat for a lot more money and I mean a lot more ($400 more!). Andrea
