We woke up early and had breakfast at our hotel. We met some members of our group and learned that somehow the plans and itinerary had changed, due to the unexpected closure of one of the two airports in the Galapagos. At this point, we didn't have too many details, and weren't sure how the changes would affect our trip.
There were are two flights today, the first from Quito to Guayquil, the largest city in Ecuador. We picked up additional passengers there, and continued to the Galapagos Islands. The islands are located about 1,000 km east of Ecuador, along the equator line. This flight to Guayquil was 30 minutes, and the flight to the Galapagos was 2 hours. Each flight served breakfast, so we were full upon landing, after 3 breakfasts so far.
