| Linda and I an nine others aboard with a crew of five |
It is difficult to know how to begin. We have spent the past five days on a boat exploring the Galapagos Islands. The islands and our voyage have exceeded our expectations in every way.
Our typical daily routine for the trip was this: breakfast at seven, an excursion ashore in the morning on one of several islands led by our guide Juan, back on board, lunch, snorkeling (we didn't snorkel because we are still finishing up our colds), shore excursion at a new location, dinner at seven.
Rather than trying to give you a blow by blow description let me just show you some pictures. the wildlife has no fear of man. We are instructed to stay back one meter, which is pretty close. Many times we have and to literally step over the various animals.
A partial list of animals seen: Galapagos tortoises, sea turtles, marine iguanas, darwin finches, flamingoes, Galapagos hawks, owls, sea lions, fur seals, penguins, herons, frigate birds, boobys
