Quito and Galapagos Islands




    This is the index of a travel log of our visit to Quito, Ecuador and a week-long Galapagos Cruise on "Silver Galapagos" operated by SilverSea, We picked up this cruise on a newspaper advertisement by Yusen Cruise company. Eight passengers, 3 couples including ourselves and two couples of medical doctors, and a father and a son, were led by a conductor Mr. Monden.
    We missed our visit to Quito, Ecuador, in 2010 when we were trapped in Machu Picchu by the flood. So visit to Quito was an important part of our objectives, while seeing Galapagos was the major part of the trip.
 これは、Ecuadorの首都Quito訪問と、SilverSea社が運航するクルーズ船"Silver Galapagos号"によるGalapagos諸島 の1週間のクルーズの旅行記の検索頁です。郵船クルーズ社の新聞広告でこのクルーズを見つけました。我々と2組の医師夫妻を含む3夫妻と、父子の8人と添乗員の門田氏でした。
 我々は2010年にQuito訪問をしくじりました。洪水でMachu Picchuに閉じ込められたからです。だからQuito訪問は目的の重要な部分でした。勿論Galapagos訪問が旅の主要部分でしたが。
