GalapagosStoryline - Nicki0731's Photos

An attempt to share the story of our Galapagos Adventure in 2006. Captions to explain the photos, since the artistic element is clearly missing from them.

Nicki0731 > Limo picked us up to drive to Chicago airport - leave it to the Schneck's to crack open the bubbly at 5 in the morning...

Nicki0731 > Arrival at the Marriott Hotel in Quito, Ecuador. Mom and Dad's room had a balcony. Just out of the picture is one of the snow covered mountains, but it was too hazy to capture a photo.

Nicki0731 > I had a thing for the lillies. They were ENORMOUS! They also had huge arrangements of roses everywhere in the hotel. Apparently Ecuador is known for their roses and you can get a dozen beautiful roses for $1 (they go up to $5 on Valentine's Day!)

Nicki0731 > Arrived at port to find they substituted our ship for another - just kidding, but it was scary to see this one sitting among the others!

Nicki0731 > Our sailboat - The Diamant (often seen as Diamante, but I will stick to the spelling carved on the boat). That's Capt. Max waving to us.

Nicki0731 > The cabins were hardly spacious - the one I shared with randy was as long as the twin bunk beds, and as wide as the door opened against the bed. I was not even in the room when I took this photo.

Nicki0731 > Raising the sails - they actually did this more than we were told to expect. Randy got to help out once, I was down in the cabin sleeping through it.

Nicki0731 > Those are the stairs we used to get in and out of the dinghy on our island excursions. Glad there were always plenty of crew members to grab hands with on the bumpy seas.
