The Galapagos Islands! WOW!!!

There are several places I have wanted to see in my life that I thought were unattainable. Of these the Great Wall of China, Galapagos Islands are two of the three on my Bucket List. In 2010 I hiked the Great Wall for over 7 hours. I have now arrived at the Galapagos Islands.

How do I describe the feelings I had when I stepped on to the …

Lobos Is

Off to Lobos Is and it was still overcast meaning no sun overhead but I am sure that everyone will still get sun burnt.

With the sun burning off the cloud cover, it was suppose to be at 2.30 pm snorkelling time but for some reason we had our hour’s walk and no snorkelling - mix up with the change of itineraries that the National Park …

Day 78: san cristobal

We got to San Cristobal at about 6 am. The streets were empty. The port has a very pretty water-front with little shops, restaurant and tour agencies. We met the Mami at her other son's place, where we had breakfast. It's a nice two-bedroom flat with an open kitchen and rather European looking interior. Turned out that his wife, whom we went to …

Day 79: naranjas

I still have no watch, but was told that the sun rises at six. I got up, got ready and waited... waited for one and a half hours until at 6.30am the boys came to pick me up... The sun had risen at 5 - grrr! The taxi drove up the only road until at Progreso it split into three. We took the one to the left and drove on and on into the jungle …

Cruise Day 1: Isla Lobos

[Blog by Laura]

Before our cruise, we had been spending some time amusing ourselves with predictions about who the other passengers would be on our 1st class luxury yacht, The Eden. We thought about making it a competition to see who could predict the most accurately. Our guesses included ¨we´ll meet someone from our cruise before we get …

Diving San Cristobal

[Blog by Curt]

To get to the starting point of our Galapagos cruise, we had to get from Santa Cruz Island (where we had landed and booked our cruise) to San Cristobal Island, by public ferry. When we heard the word ´ferry´, we of course had pictured one of those massive sluggish barges that ply the waters between islands on many continents …

2ème partie du séjour aux Galapagos

Comme promis, voici la suite de notre séjour aux Galapagos.

19 – changement d'île, arrivée à San Cristobal. Cette île est vraiment une île comme dirait Sophie. Plusieurs plages de sable fin, petit port, convivial. Moins de touristes, des restos typiques et des prix plus corrects !

20 – plongée à Kicker Rock (Leon …

My favorite place on the Galapagos

I loved finishing my trip to Galapagos here. This town is relatively relaxed and the people are much friendlier then in Puerto ayora, Santa Cruz.

The fact that there is sea lions everywhere makes it even more enjoyable. I pretty much spend mytime here in the water. The second day I arrived I inmediatly went to Tijereta for a swim with the …

Cold beer and pepsi

Well, our volunteer stint on the Galapagos is coming to a close in a few days. We have needed to keep well hydrated as we have worked in plus 30 degrees 100 percent humidity each day. When the water bottles get finished (and/or too hot to drink) we have sometimes purchased the only other available wet and cold things, which are Pilsener beer and …
