Galapogos Islands

---

Well, we´ve spent the last few days touring the Galapagos Islands. We´re in Santa Cruz Island making a quick foray into the port before going back on board. A quick note to say it´s been a fantastic experience. Lives up to all expectations and beyond. Wildlife in abundance, literally at your feet. Swam with Sea Lions today, have seen sharks and turtles while snorkelling. More updates to follow when we´ve been through our zillions of photos!

(sorry to hear we lost Rugby, hope we´re not out altogether)
