I have to start this entry by saying we have been so careful so far, we padlock each bag, we carry our personal items on us, we never leave bags unattended...so the bloody buggers that robbed us on the bus must have been professionals!
Yes it´s happened, the camera, ipod and data stick with the back up photos have all gone literally from under our feet.
We were getting the bus from Jipihapa to Guayaquil to stay with the lovely Piana family. We had the bag by our feet and for about 5 mins both of us feel asleep (we had just eaten nearly a whole banana cake so think it was a sugar crash!). We didnt notice anything had gone until the next morning when we went to get the camera to take photos. What an arse! At least we have this to remind us of what we´ve been doing for the past 8 weeks!
The last pictures we took were of the whale watching in Puerto Lopez, such a shame we don´t have those pix as it was an unfotgettable experience - at one point a hump back whale was literally 10m from the boat and me! We also saw them jumping out of the water - it was just like watching the Discovery Channel! We then went for a walk on the Isla de la Plata where we saw blue footed Boobies - what a name for a bird - which you can also see on the Galapagos Islands. The male makes a strange whistling sound, was quite confused - who was whistling at us? - until the guide explained what was making the sound!
In case you´re wondering, this is what the blue footed birds look like...
