Hola! Buenos Tardes!!!!! Just got back from the best week ever. Everyone I know must visit the Galapagos Islands. I have never been anywhere like it before! I have snorkelled with sea lions whilst trying to stop Kerry screaming whilst hanging off the side of the panga (small inflatable boat!), I have sat on top of boat whilst this pre-historic looking birds fly towards me!
