Galapagos Islands Blog Day Nine
June 26, 2015 at 10:22 AM
What an adventure ... The final leg of our journey saw the group flying back to the mainland to Quito, Ecuador, for our farewell dinner and overnight stay before flying back to Toronto via Miami.
This evening we held our farewell dinner in the Spanish quarter in Quito at the famous theatre the restaurant is called Theatrum. Located on the second floor of the theatre we were treated to traditional Ecuador dishes.
Early the following morning we departed for the airport and home. With many great photographs, memories and new friendships. I’d like to thank everyone that joined me on this adventure it was great to travel with you. Keep an eye on Trekkers website due to popular request we will be offering this tour again in June of 2016.
Enjoy a selection of images from our tour submitted by some of the photographers that join me on our adventure.
But the first item we’d like you to check out is a video of our 8 days in the Galapagos including some great underwater footage.
