Post office bay mail station

A postal exchange on the beach of Floreana Island. An old whisky barrel houses postcards from visitors the world over, each left in the hope that others will take their postcard home and deliver it. The Post Office Bay tradition has been going for over 200 years, since UK mariners set it up to allow packages and letters to be deposited and picked up by other passing ships en route to the appropriate destinations. Galapagos Archipelago, Ecuador.
