The holiday is over for us. On the second day on the Galapagos islands Pam managed to slip over on some rubble in a lava tube on Floreana island. A more remote spot would be difficult to find. She thought she had just sprained her ankle, and managed to limp out, but 2 days later when we arrived at San Cristobal island, an Xray confirmed a break in the small leg bone. This was set in a back strap cast to support the ankle. We continued on the cruise, Peter enjoyed the activities while Pam lazed around with her feet up.
After a week, which was fantastic, especially for Peter, we flew back to Quito.
Travel insurance is sending us home. We will go business class from Santiago to Adelaide. It is only economy internal flights in South America, as LAN do not offer business class. We also get a night at the airport hotel in Santiago. The insurance is all working very smoothly, we had a couple of days delay in getting seats on the Santiago Sydney flight. We declined to fly via the US, the connections were atrocious. Better to stay in Quito a couple of extra days.
I will get around to finishing the blog, Ecuador has been amazing.
We should be home late on Oct 14th, if all the connections work.
