End of Paradise
We all left the boat at about 6:30 am to head over to the Darwin Center to see the giant tortoises in captivity. There was Diego who is a 150 years old. And Lonesome George, the last remaining giant tortoise from Pinta. They think he’s gay. Apparently they try cross breeding him with another female tortoise, and George was having none of that.
Afterwards, we all headed over to the airport. Even got my Galapagos souvenir stamp in my passport. It was wicked cool. I could not sit still on the flight. I really didn’t want to leave the Galapagos and the wildlife. But I was also glad to be back in Quito.
That night, I had joined some other Galapagos travellers for dinner at the Hotel Quito. The meal was absolutely fabulous. But it also took 3 hours to finish. The best part was it only cost 20 with tax and tip. That’s just unheard of in NY.
