Football, penguins, the equator and altitude sickness

I´m very sorry to say that our stay here in Ecuador has come to an end. It is our last night and tomorrow we fly back to Sweden.
But here comes an update on our last few days.
In Galapagos we wnt on two snorkeling trips.We saw sea turtles, sting rays, penguins and eaven a white tip shark! Here are the pictures:












In Galapagos we also went to the most beautiful beach in the world. Turtle Bay (unfortunately no turtles where seen).








This is a nice galapagos picture of John and his new girlfriend.
This is Kicker´s Rock, the destination for our first snorkeling tour. Supposed to be crowded with Hammerhead Sharks. We saw the shadow of one according to our guide.
Here in Quito we took a mountain bike tour to the Cotopaxi National Park. Probably one of the most beautiful places in the world, we eaven saw wild horses. Climcing the more than 5000 meters high volcano the air was very thin and we both suffered from altitude sickness that night.






Today was our last day, and it was time for John to get his birthday present. Tickets to the football game between Liga and Nacional, both teams from Quito. Liga won 2-1. Of course we forgot the suncream so we both have VERY red faces atm.

Then it was time to see the main tourist attraccion in Quito. La Mitad del Mundo (the middle of the world).

Thank you so much for following us. When we get home we will upload some vidoes too.
Lots of love, Hanna and John
