Isabela (Galapagos) – 
Puerto Villamil
Once again we have to get up way too early – having a “snack breakfast” we take a taxi to the pier. This time we have to pay a water taxi (2 USD/person), which takes us to the speedboat.
For real? When we arrived, the speedboat simply docked at the jetty.
The cruise is quite bumpy, and although I exchange my place at the stern of the boat (there it doesn’t rock that much, ideal also for photos) with a girl who is not particularly happy about the rough seas, it must be torment for her…
Santa Cruz (Galapagos) –
Puerto Ayora
A good 2,5h later we arrive in Santa Cruz and get – surprise! – once again to pay (1 USD/Person) for a water taxi for the ride to the pier… Taximafia .
