We left Quito on Thursday night by overnight bus which I
thought was fine and had a good sleep on but woke up to find an angry Ellie
staring at me in the morning, demanding to know how I could have slept through
the crazy driving and look so happy about it. Think it’s her turn to be grumpy
so I just give my apologies and hope for a smooth final trip to the hotel in
Puerto Lopez.
We get checked in early and book ourselves onto a day trip
to Isla de la plata, with having 2 hours free before the boat trip I head to
bed for a couple more zzz, this apparently amazes Ellie.
On the way to our boat we see all the local fishermen
bringing that nights catch home, wonderful to watch the beach come to life.
Once on the boat we met a great group of people but one Swedish girl I knew
straight away I am going to dislike. I was right by the end of the day I hated
her and so did everyone else on the boat with her long blonde perfect hair
being flicked everywhere and her self-importance presence around the boat with
poses straight out of zoolander. All I wanted to do was push her off the back
of the boat, but I couldn’t move due to my attractive life vest being too big
and having to desperately suck on a mint to stop myself vomiting.
Anyway we finally get to treasure Island where Sir Francis
Drake apparently buried his Silver treasure chest (still unfound), also can
anyone tell me why Francis Drake is a Sir? From the stories I hear he was a
proper crook!
The Island is also known as the poor mans Galapagos so I
asked the guide what the difference is between them, his brilliant answer was
$1,000. Lol. We did see the Blue Footed Boobie, Turtles and lots of fish when
snorkelling.
