Leaving the Galapagos Islands for Quito

Baltra, Galapagos Islands & Quito, Ecuador
Baltra to Quito

Disembarkation day. Up early today since we had to have breakfast and finish our last minute packing of our carry on bags. We left the ship at 9:15 AM on our last zodiac ride. It was then a 5 minute bus ride to the airport where we sat until noon when we boarded our Celebrity charter to Quito, stopping in Guayaquil to refuel. We were served a nice lunch and then a snack after Guayaquil. Checked in at the Marriott at 3:30 PM then about 430 PM we were bussed to an artisan market to browse and buy if the mood struck you. We took a $2 taxi back to the hotel with Joe and Nancy after this stop since we didn't want to go to the Galleria Latina for upscale shopping. After cleaning up, we had our last Celebrity dinner at the hotel with our normal group minus Ron and Maddy who left for the Celebrity Machu Picchu extension. All of us feel like we are still on the ship. Everyone went to bed early since we were all worn out from our trekking experience through the archipelago. The king size bed was a real treat after our small ship "bunks".
