So last night as we were going to sleep there was a lot of commotion outside our room. One of the guests had fallen down a steep set of stairs, landing on her face and getting knocked out. Her room was directly across from ours. It took hours of consultation among the ship doctor, a passenger doctor, the captain, and the senior leadership of the boat before a plan was agreed upon. We stayed in our room and only heard fragments of the discussion. Then at 5:00 am another major conflab ensued working out a plan to get her down several sets of stairs and into the zodiac so she could be taken by ambulance to the hospital in Guayaquil.
I did not get much sleep.
At the airport we found out that Avianca had screwed up ticketing for the six of us going to Quito. So we missed our flight while Lindblad staff struggled with the airline to get us ticketed. We must now wait in the airport until 1:30 before correct tickets can be issued for a 3:30 flight to Quito. We will now arrive hours later than planned and will miss the afternoon excursion that we paid for. 😱.
