WOW!

When you hear people who have been to the Galapagos Islands talk about their experiences you think they must be mad, it couldn't be as good as they say it is. The animals cant be so tame, there cant be such diverse life forms, there cant be stuff to keep you going for 8 days.

Its all true, and not just that, its 100 times better than anyone can explain. There are no words that can convery how amazing a place it is or how it is possible that every new day is better than the last. Swimming with turtles, searching for giant tortises and finding them mating, unbelievable snorkelling, stepping through and around giant marine iguannas, stepping around Blue Footed Booby nests on the trails as the bird just watches you go past, it is an experience you cannot get anywhere else on Earth.

We were on a smaller vessel with only 16 people, 7 crew and our guide, Monica. The pax were mostly Brits, with 2 Canadians, 1 yank, and us. It was a great crowd until mid week when we swapped out the canuks and yank and got 4 more aussies who were complete and utter wankers. The sort of people who give travelling aussies a bad name, noone wanted them in their groups as they were just so rude and stupid. not nice to say about fellow aussies, but true.

Anyway, I am not going to bore you with the trivialities here, instead I will let some pics do the talking. BEST holiday we have ever had.
