After the "Very Fast" boat ride, we made it back to our old stomping grounds for our last night in the islands. |
|
We wrapped up our trip to Isabela with dinner at Casa de Marita. This was something you would expect to see on one of the Anthony Bourdain specials. Our guide, Marlo(maybe a silent "n" here?) took us to up three flights of stairs that gave the impression we were heading to someone´s kitchen. As it turns out, everybody goes there... Lots of the resturants here don´t have any signs, so unless someone leads you to the table, you could starve.
Our last night in the hotel was somewhat interesting. They were trying to bring a fully pre-fabbed pool over the top of a three story building to drop it in a hole in the center of the courtyard. Needless to say, it was still hanging from the side if the building when we left it. Then the water was out in the hotel. I guess that is one of the downsides of living in the Galapagos. Water and power tend to go away without warning..or promise of a morning shower. Since our fast boat left at 5:30 AM ..Yeah 5:30 AM. I guess someone forgot to tell them we were on vacation.
Today was a nice hike (loosely translated: death march), a bit warm (felt like 120º), and the water was cool and exhilerating (we saw shark like fish in the waves). After baking in the sun, we decided to do like the locals and take a long deserved siesta. Someone should petition to incorporate the siesta in the States. After waking all refreshed and ready to do something, Jeri took some really cool pictures of the sea lions down by the fish market. One was bellied up to the bar, his chin was on the cutting board. I am glad Naya never learned to beg like that. It was acting like a garbage disposal for the left over fish parts. That looked handy. Note to self, take a sea lion fishing with us next time.
We have one more dinner out tonight and then we head back to the main land to do a little exploring in Quito. We have read about how they do it..and it should be interesting. They make these effigies (flammable dummies) of things they don´t like. At midnight, they light them on fire..and mix in a few fireworks. That reminds me, we should bring lots of water.
