Glorious Galapagos
Yay! I'm so excited for you at this stage. Arriving on the Galapagos and contemplating the wonders of the next few days aboard your boat must have been so exciting for you! Love the introduction and the introductory taster photos - I'm eager to read more! 😊

Pushy Photographers
One of our bucket list destinations. Friends went there just before Christmas and absolutely loved it. MJ did indeed show great restraint, please congratulate her - I'm not sure I would have given pushy photographer the same courtesy..... I'm a very keen photographer, but one of my pet hates is the pushy photographer who thinks it is only them trying to get good shots.

I decided the zodiac was not the place for the things I wanted to say. Tossing her overboard was considered for several minutes. LOL. Courtesy is the key. Thanks for commenting.

What an awesome opportunity
Ok, Many of your trips have been awesome to experience thru your blog, but this one really caught my fancy: except the kayak " adventure" , seems every time I have been in a kayak I have found them to be uncomfortable. Just bad for a bad back. Everything else was fascinating and I really enjoyed my " experience ". :)

Awesome opportunity
Dave here....yes, it was grand! One more to come from the Galápagos and it should have more pics. The kayak thing was a bummer, but I'm willing to try it again. Cheers!

love, love, love this
brought back so many memories of my grandson’s and my trip there a few years ago. The animals were incredible and, having grown up on the ocean but now living on the Mississippi, I loved every minute of being on the sea

I'm glad we could bring back some pleasant memories for you. We love being on the water... it is my zen.

They are adorable when they walk, rather waddle. The colors are vibrant!

The Galapagos Islands
Everyone has heard of them but this map and the route you took is much appreciated. Enjoy the wildlife...and don't let Brenno be fed to the sharks along the way!

Indeed the Galapagos is a dream destination for many and well deserved. The unique and diverse animals and sea life is amazing. We have more to tell so hopefully you will come back for the next chapter.

Breathless in Quito
Wonderful Quito - where every day is carnival day! They certainly don't need an excuse to celebrate. Glad you enjoyed the buzz - you tell a lovely story. Rather envious, but my days of long-distance travel are now long gone. Keep Smiling, David

The Blue Footed Boobie

That Darwin dude
I had so much love for Darwin that I studied evolutionary biology at uni... he wasn't much of a looker but he had a good brain. The Isabella II sounds like the perfect sized ship to me. I see you've spotted more blue footed boobies, and the food looks amazing! Your excitement is very evident :)

That Darwin Dude
Darwin was a brilliant man and this was a perfect place for hime to observe and study. They do a great job preserving the islands. I'm glad our excitement shows. It was a lovely trip.
