Back to land

I got to sleep in until 630 this morning which was great since Andy was trying to wake me up since 530. We took our time getting up and eating breakfast, very nice compared to the 620 dives the last four days. It felt a little empty now that 3 people left the boat. I really enjoyed the trip with everyone on the boat- very lucky that we were diving with the Russian mafia (see the Asia travels blog). We then took the zodiac to land for the last time and checked into our flight. We walked around the town for a bit since our flight didn’t leave for a couple hours. Deciding not to buy any over-priced crap, we watched the sea lions sleep, play, and make a very unusual sound- think me waking up in the morning and grunting.

The flight back to Quito was uneventful, we hailed a cab and headed back to the Secret Garden Hostal- they have wi-fi after all and it’s not based in the spring-break area of Quito. A pizza and half a liter of shitty white wine, we headed back to the hostal to relax and prepare for the next leg of our adventure- the Amazon!!
