Steve and I were a little grumpy today. We are finding it hard to enjoy the amazing surroundings with whining kids and a group of shipmates who donīt listen to a word our guide Raul says. Also, we had a 6 hour boat trip last night while we (tried) to sleep to get to the next island; Espanola.
The adults on the boat sort of got the message that the kids were getting on our nerves, so asked if there was anything they could do to make our trip easier. Steve suggested dragging them alongside the boat in the water. They didnīt do it. They bought us a bottle of wine instead.
We went for a walk to look at Christmas Iguanas, finches, mocking birds, masked boobies, and Taraīs favourite the albatross doing their amusing mating dance. There was a cheeky little mocking bird too that Steve was trying to mock..
We then went snorkeling in the afternoon from the beach in Punta Suarez but turned back to shore quickly when spotted a shark! Then back to the boat for dinner, guess what? CHICKEN!!!
DAILY FACTS
- Stayed on: The Eden, Espaņola Island, Galapagos.
- Number of times Steve had to shove hand down toilet: 1 wee
- Quote of the day: Steve asks Tara, "Whatīs the name of that big hairy animal you get out in the wilderness?". Tara replies, "Bigfoot? Er.. the Yeti? Chewbacca?"

A masked booby
. he retaliated by trying to steal our water. We then went snorkeling in the afternoon from the beach in Punta Suarez but turned back to shore quickly when spotted a shark! Then back to the boat for dinner, guess what? CHICKEN!!!

Nice Hair
Brings back memories of Harpers...
Anyway, I'm finally catching up after returning from some of my own travels in Eastern Europe (pulled a cracker of a Bosnian fitty incidentally) and retrieving your emails from my junk filter.
Hines, I was joyed to see you look at stupid as I thought you would. Nice hair....
No, seriously, that's really nice hair
...where did you get it done? (Remember it as if it was yesterday!) What were you thinking of......!?! Although could potentially look worse than that after the stag weekend ;o)
Trust Leck eh, he comes onto your travelblog and has to brag about his exploits. I say 'Leck, book a eroom' !! (ho ho ho, well proud of that one!)
Right folks, I've got to go but next time I log in I'll have a box of matches at the ready to keep awake while reading your latest instalment :o)!!
Keep safe
Harpers
