So, after two weeks in Quito, 20 hours of Spanish lessons and a nasty case of that condition that you expect to get at least once when you travel, we were off to the Galapagos Islands. At 5:45am our alarm clock went off rousing us into an unwilling state of consciousness - it's a very uncivilised time of the morning after all. We had arranged to share a taxi with another girl from the hostel who was going to the airport at the same time. Sounded like a good idea at the time.

Irgendwenn het är denn au no welle in mis Portemonnaie luege, was ich natürlich nid welle ha. Noch ... read more
