10 days in the galapagos

getting to the galapagos and organising 10 days there is not proving too hard.

we can fly onto san cristobal and then catch a transfer boat (private boats are about 30-40 each way) or fly straight on to baltra and get a transfer on to santa cruz and into the main town of puerto ayora.

there is a 5 day, 4 night dive trip which looks good. or we can do 2 dives a day with equipment rental. wish the kiwi dollar would go up against the US!
