Friday 6th May

Puerto Villamil

Bags are packed and ready to go before breakfast ( at 6.00 am! ) and on the pangas by 6.45.

On our way to the airport we make a quick visit to one of The Twins, two huge sink-holes on either side of the road.

Sylvia and David from the crew accompany us to the airport and we are soon winging our way to Guayaquil where some of our fellow tourists will also get off whilst the remainder will continue their trip back to Quito.

Looking back on the week the most lasting impression has been the harmony of the group and the camaraderie established.  With so many disparate personalities from many backgrounds there is inevitability some apprehension as to how the week will pan out. I can only speak for Gail and myself but on that score any fears have been totally unfounded and this latest tick on our Bucket List has been a very rewarding and happy experience.

Cheers
