Amazing trip around the Galápagos Islands.

Finally, after a very long awaited trip from last year, everything turns out perfectly right. Not knowing what to expect during the volcanic eruptions, presidential elections during our visit, and swine flu emerging from nowhere was a perfect combination to make our trip perfectly memorable. This …

I have just got off my ridicoulously small cruise ship after what they call a 4 days cruise, when really is only 2 and a half... I have not enjoyed the rocking of the boat at all, and still now sitting on the chair in this internet cafe i can feel still the rockin of the sea which is making me so …

So, we spent the morning nursing our wounded.. Well, that only consists of Ben and I.. Ben is EXTREMELY burnt so we were quite hesitant to leave the hostel before we had to.. The sun is scorching fromm 7AM to 7pm.. Ecuador is just moving into the rainy season here in the next few weeks, so they are…

Today was the day we were to finally see the Blue Footed Boobies. They look so pretty in pictures I have seen. After breakfast, we sat in the loung…

Protected islands seem so surreal unaffected by man but Mother Nature has left her mark.

Most beautiful Islands in the world! :)

3/2   Wow I can’t believe it’s March already… crazy.  I think I left off just before the canal.  We spent a couple days at the marina there, I think I wrote about provisioning already, and the only other highlight was this silly dog that came by our boat every now and then n…

We now get all the hype, visiting the Galapagos Islands was absolutely amazing.  Tom and I treated ourselves to a 4 night luxury yacht cruise around the islands, plus spent 2 more days ourselves on the main island of Santa Cruz.  We got up close and cosy with so many c…

Wow, wow, wow.  I actually don´t know what to say about these amazing islands.  It´s been 4 of the most incredible days.  It truly feels like you´re in the birthplace of creation when you´re there.  The islands are all made from volcanic eruptions and most of them at first g…

I loved Ecuador and I am going back this winter!
