This is essentially the last day of the Galapagos cruise.  Tomorrow morning, after breakfast, we'll be disembarking from the ship and take zodiac boats to the pier.  From there we'll board buses to go to the Baltra airport.  Most will be getting off at Guayaquil.  A few of us will continue the same flight to Quito.
