Galapagos Islands
Just back from the Galapagos Islands! Superb wildlife viewing and felt like I was in a David Attenborough documentary.
From Quito, Ecuador, we flew to San Cristobal where we boarded the Diamante, our yacht and home for the next week. Luckily she was a beauty and the crew was amazing. Our guide was even better and was one of the first inhabitants of Floreana island (just after all the mysterious disappearances took place) and a wealth of information. One of 12 children who were all delivered by her father, most of her siblings are involved in the conservation of the islands (one of them is involved in the eradiction of introduced species flying over the islands in a helicopter and shooting goats!).
For 8 days we walked amongst numerous endemic species of birds, mammals and reptiles and most of the time you had to be very careful not to walk on the wildlife!
