A trip to the Ecuadorian mainland & the Galapagos Islands

 

         


Return to Summer Menu 


For a nature nut, a trip to South America and the Galapagos Islands in particular was way, way over due. After much debate about the best way to do it, we chose a trip where we stayed on the islands themselves rather than on a boat. We were so pleased that we did it that way and we had an amazing time on the islands and also on the Ecuadorian mainland, needless to say the photos don't do either justice...



Day 1 - Heathrow to Amsterdam

Concorde in BA colours at Heathrow - a comeback?


 


We had an overnight stay in CitizenM - an ultra-modern 'boutique' hotel at the airport at Schiphol to ensure our luggage made the same flight out to Quito as us the next morning...
