By the time you read this early Post for Monday 18th, I should just about be getting my flight back to the mainland. Guayaquil, is my first destination, hopefully followed by plan A which is an onward flight to Trujillo, (the second largest town in) Peru. I don't have a clue if there is such a flight, but plan B would be to cover the same distance, overnight, by bus/coach. For now I will leave you with the photos of, I think, all the Darwin Finches seen this visit, which is followed by yesterdays post and news of another 'endemic lifer'.

The 'Trip List' now stands at - 775
'World Lifers' - 519
'Endemics' - 57
Species Recorded on Galapagos 'This Trip' - 42
