Day 19 - Leaving the Galápagos and returning to Quito


It was our last breakfast in the Galápagos, every morning there was a lovely lady that asked whether we want "scrambled or fried" in a high pitch voice followed by "Joose?". After having breakfast we took a bus with our luggage to the ferry on the north of the island where we saw hundreds of blue footed boobies systematically diving into the water to grab a fish. On to another bus for the short distance to the airport. After checking in we said goodbye to our CEOs. The Galapagos flight was shortly after and this flight touched down in Guayaqcil. 
After returning to our hostel called "593 hostel" in Quito which had cool dorms, we repacked our bags and got reunited with our Otovalo shopping we left there before leaving for the Galápagos. Later that evening we went to the Quito mall (the one closed to 593 hostel) for our final meal together we had a private room at the rear of the restaurant, my meal consisted of a beef burger with caramelised onion, bacon, lettuce, cheese and some chips with ketchup don't worry our Heinz ketchup is better than any ketchup I've tried here!!!
We had churros to take away and had back at base.
After coming back to the hostel we had a group chat about our top three highlights such as swimming with turtles, having amazing food whether it's octopus, lavae, Guinea pig or fish every meal was incredible!! We continued with evaluating our adventure including our projects, our kit list and overall health of the trip. And we started to make plans for our reunion event.
After most of us had packed and showered we played a couple of card games, had mini chats in our rooms or gave each other hairstyles for example when Shona's hairstyle changed dramatically it made her look like Jayden Smith.
