Ship's Log:
Weīre in the Galapagos and we canīt get off the boat.
Our few days ashore were, however, well spent and enjoyable. Diving, snorkeling, touring, shopping and hanging out with giant tortoises were just some of the activities enjoyed by all. But now we are waiting for a water-maker part to arrive and due to ridiculous regulations we are not allowed ashore for more than three days. So here we sit, fully in sight of the ice cream shops, and unable to do anything about it. But all is not unwell. Our resident Mennonites provided us with a Menno-themed afternoon snack of watermelon and rollkuchen. Deep fried, syrupy and delicious. A few lessons were taught, naps were had and many a longing stare was sent towards shore. After a long day in the harbor we are now brainstorming ways to bribe the port captain. More of the same tomorrow.
