Galapagos

---

Sorry guys for letting you all wait for so long.
I kinda got lazy, but I finally found my motivation again! YEAH

So how were the Galapagos Islands?! To keep it short, I know you just want to see the Fotos 😉, the islands were the most beatiful place I have seen so far. Snowwhite beaches, actually they call one beach that way, really nice places to snorkel and of course the almost unaffected flora and fauna! It's amazing that the animals are not scared at all from the human and actually you have to go out of the way if you don't want to get in trouble with a sea lion. Even though it looks pretty ridiculous when they walk on the beach ^^

Now some infos for the ones who want to know how it was more detailed.
The cruise was an experience for itself. We travelled with the New Flamingo, I guess it is the smalles boat available, only 10pax, but also a commom cruise for backpacker as it is quite cheap. Therefore it was perfect for us, as there are mainly young people travelling and the itinerary brings you to some of the most beautiful places in the Galapagos Archipel. The lack of comfort, for example a tiny cabine, was one of the things we had to deal with, but seriously who gives a s*** when you are on the Galapagos Islands.
There was actually just one major problem. A small boat + open sea = heavy swell. Normally I don't have any problems with any sort of travelling, but one night I was actually stuck in the cabin at 8pm! I just wanted to change and went down into the cabin, but from that moment on I felt really bad everytime I wanted to get up. The only thing I could do was lay down.
So the next evening I just went on deck and enjoyed the stars. A much nicer view than the inside of a cabin.

We also went snorkeling almost once or twice every day, with sharks, sea lions, rays and turtles.

So all in all we had fantastic time on the Galapagos Islands!

I dont really know what more to write so just look at the pictures!

Cactus Forest
Okay a regular forest looks different, but there is not much else growing around here

Sea leguan
Fun fact: The bigger land Leguanes are afraid of fighting them and therefore have to share their wifes

about 2500 years old
These trees grow per year only 1cm.

Guess who jumped after this foto into the sea
