Isla Floreana
The Blue Footed Booby
Galapagos Island 1
Galapagos islands 2
Galapagos islands 3 A couple of weeks crusing the Galapagos islands was absolutey
incredible, cant begin to describe how amazing it was (although we shall try....)
We were swimming and snorkelling everyday with seals, sharks, turtles, penuins, rays, dolphins etc none of which have any fear of humans so they swam right up and played in the water inches away from us. Then there was hiking on the islands with the likes of giant tortoise, marine and sea iguanas, snakes and loads of amazing birds . Watched the mating dance of albatros which is the funniest thing weve ever seen - only slightly
funnier though than watching the dancing blue footed boobies - what a great name.
The boobie jokes never got tiring...
Also saw baby turtles hatching on the beach and later getting eaten by sea lions in the middle of the night next to our boat.
Very fun times were had on the boat too. Hung around with 4 great
Aussies/Canadians who introduced us to their 'Nude in the Neighbourhood club' of which we become honoury members for a night or two..The club mainly involves getting naked for the purpose of skinny dipping, hailing a water taxi, streaking through
the boat in the middle of the night etc.. all fuelled by a shot of tequila or two. Made our trip even more memorable

Big boobies
Oh my god your pics look ham-azing. Speaking of which, are there any pigs on the galapagos? My favourite was definitely the dead iguana. Lots of love xxx
