Giant land tortoise
They are soo huge! This one is 170 years old! These ones are endemic to Galapagos Islands.

Marine Iguana
They´re normally black but in the mating season they turn red and blue/green in colour to attract the females!

A blue-footed booby
They really do have bright blue feet!

A green pacific-sea turtle
We snorkelled with turtles - they´re so graceful when they´re swimming.

Beach
Some of the islands had beautiful white sandy beaches where we could swim and snorkel.

Sea lion basking in the sun
The sea lions were soo cute - I took loads of photos just of sea lions looking cute! must go back and delete some...

A galapagos penguin
They´re great posers for photos! I saw one swimming away when I was snorkelling.

Me next to a sea lion
The animals are not frightened by humans and you can get really close to them.

A land iguana eating cactus
These animals look really pre-historic!

I want a booby!
Beckster - you HAVE to bring me a sea lion back. Not the dark grey ones, but that little beige fluffy fella who's sunbathing in your picure would be fine - how cute!!! I know there are laws against sea lion smuggling, but you'll find a way. Think of it as part of your adventure... One of those booby birds with the bright blue feet would be good too coz they match quite a lot of my clothes. xx
