Lots of stories to come. Here is a start.

Back in Peurto Ayora, we saw our boat in the harbour and figured we still had enough time to buy some last minute supplies. I went to nearest store for important supplies of lemonade, chips and of course chocolate. Jillian went to the small pier to wave at our boat. The chocolate proved difficult and when I emerged from the store I couldn't see Jillian anywhere. I looked at our boat and became concerned because it was moving away from the pier area. When I saw Jill was waving to me I was worried I had missed the boat.
 
Hmmm...
 
A small runabout did come and pick me up. The boat just had to relocated in the harbour and Jill and I settled in for lunch Our boat away from home

 . Apparently we were late and everyone on board had eaten. There was some confusion because a flight into Isla Baltra was late, delaying two of our cruise mates. They caught up with us back on land and we all headed to the Charles Darwin Research Centre for a guided tour. We received some good information from our temporary guide but we were very happy we had spent the morning there on our own. The tour didn't allow enough time to visit all the information centres, which is something we enjoy.
