Well this is probably the hardest blog I´ve written as I just don´t think words will do the place justice but here goes... From the minute we arrived the Galapagos is different and amazing, landing on an uninhabited islands in to tropical weather and with giant grasshoppers covering all the welcome signs! Even the short 10 min bus ride to get over to the main island you see pelicans, friget birds and bright red giant crabs just hanging about all over the place...

Well first of all I have to get the rant over about Quito and there nasty dirty theiving gypos.
