Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 397 (207) Puerto Ayora Saturday 9th April (2005) The wake-up call sounded at shortly after ridiculous o’clock this morning but with a long day of logistics and, hopefully, travelling ahead of us, we forced ourselves out of bed and into action. It was still dark outside […]
RTW3 – Puerto Ayora, Galapagos Islands – Day 398 (208)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 398 (208) Puerto Ayora Sunday 10th April (2005) With it being such a late night last night, we chose to sleep in this morning as opposed to getting up early enough for breakfast. By the time we had mobilised, we were starting to wonder just what […]
RTW3 – on board NEMO I, Galapagos Islands – Day 399 (209)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 399 (209) On board NEMO I Monday 11th April (2005) We skipped what we anticipated would be a very meagre breakfast this morning and instead took our time to pack and get our act together. I’d already paid in full for our two nights’ accommodation when […]
RTW3 – on board NEMO I, Galapagos Islands – Day 400 (210)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 400 (210) On board NEMO I Tuesday 12th April (2005) We’ve had restless nights on numerous occasions throughout this round the world trip and the reasons have been varied. I think I can honestly say, however, that we’ve never before had problems with sleeping due to […]
RTW3 – on board NEMO I, Galapagos Islands – Day 401 (211)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 401 (211) On board NEMO I Wednesday 13th April (2005) It was still dark when the hideously early five-thirty wake-up bell was rung this morning. I think most people had a much easier night this time since we were on the move to the island of […]
RTW3 – on board NEMO I, Galapagos Islands – Day 402 (212)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 402 (212) On board NEMO I Thursday 14th April (2005) Today was a complete disaster for me. During the night, I’d developed a bit of a tummy bug and was up and down to the toilet every half hour. I was so lethargic and tired by […]
RTW3 – on board NEMO I, Galapagos Islands – Day 403 (213)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 403 (213) On board NEMO I Friday 15th April (2005) I was feeling much better this morning. Between the Amoeba parasite tablets and the Cipro, I was thankfully getting on top of whatever the problem was. I still had some diarrhoea but I was at least […]
RTW3 – on board NEMO I, Galapagos Islands – Day 404 (214)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 404 (214) On board NEMO I Saturday 16th April (2005) Once again, I was feeling better this morning compared to the previous, although still with a little diarrhoea. In fact, just about everybody on the boat has had a bout of diarrhoea during this voyage. Still, […]
RTW3 – on board NEMO I, Galapagos Islands – Day 405 (215)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 405 (215) On board NEMO I Sunday 17th April (2005) Once again everyone was up bright and early this morning. This phenomenon of a slowly adjusting internal body clock is something we’ve seen before during our participation safari tour through Africa. Here, too, I find myself […]
RTW3 – Quito, Ecuador – Day 406 (216)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 406 (216) Quito Monday 18th April (2005) With our outbound flight from the Galapagos Islands already scheduled for later this afternoon, this morning’s brief panga ride would sadly mark the termination of our Galapagos Islands cruise. Many passengers were still very tired from yesterday evening’s festivities […]
RTW3 – Flight to Miami – Day 407 (217)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 407 (217) Flight to Miami – LAST LOG ENTRY Tuesday 19th April (2005) It’s late evening and we’ve just arrived here in our former hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Since we are here to visit with friends and former neighbours, we’re technically no longer travelling any more. […]
RTW3 – Quito, Ecuador – Day 395 (205)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 395 (205) Quito Thursday 7th April (2005) With a little bit of a nudge from Sandy (although I’m lying about the bit about it being little), I dragged myself out of bed this morning. Since we didn’t need to check out until noon and weren’t scheduled […]
RTW3 – Quito, Ecuador – Day 396 (206)
Ecuador – Round The World Tour 3 2004 Day 396 (206) Quito Friday 8th April (2005) Perhaps it was the alcohol that was adversely affecting my senses last night but I didn’t notice the fact that my mattress was slightly leaning to one side until early this morning. I was suddenly aware of the fact […]
