Galapogus Day Two
Hi Folks,
Feeling a bit woozy this morning after a large does
of Iguana juice yesterday evening and some good Ecuadorian hospitality , we went
ashore yesterday afternoon to look around , although we have organised our trips
we went to look at the Port of Ayona , its a quart little place , the jetty is a
hive of activity , with all the Islands food and supplies being man handled off
of the freighter ships in the bay intro little "scowl's"or small barges then
towed in to a small jetty and unloaded into trucks and distributed , there are
no large Warf's or dock facilities here so I wonder how they support the 18
thousand populace , which includes the tourists as well , we had a great meal
ashore and it was all up to European standards , they are way ahead of the brits
on the recycling front , and its all very clean and tidy so the public works are
working well I think.
The garbage collection trucks are funded by
the EU so the money you all contribute does go further than Brussels after all
!
We are starting the tourist trail in earnest today
so will have lots to report on to morrow , cameras at the ready and expecting
Blue footed boobies and Iguanas by the truck load ...
