Day 6: Back to the mainland we go...eventually...

On our last day in the Galapagos, Lenin took us to another part of the island to watch sunrise.

We originally planned to watch it from the tunnels formed from volcanic rock, but the park ranger was a bit late that morning opening the gate, so we did the best we could.  Back to the hotel, shower, pack, breakfast, and back on the bus we went.

On our way to the ferry port, we did a quick stop at the Twin Craters, two sink holes.  Here's a pic of my Roamin' Spartans.

All along the trip, we were paired up with 23 people from south Florida, so we had to take a whole group picture of "Lenin's Family."

This is out last glimpse of Galapagos wildlife prior to leaving this amazing place.  We are extremely grateful we were able to see this exotic locale.
So, off on the ferry we went, to the bus, to the airport...and to only have our flight delayed 6+ hours. So, we had a grand ol' time exploring the expansive airport of Baltra, before finally boarding. On a positive note, our plane went directly to Quito, so no pit stop.
Our hotel got changed on us in Quito, and the upgrade was quite appreciated by the kids!  They had suites with kitchens, living room, multiple bathrooms...luxury!!
Late night dinner at 11pm and off to bed we went.
