Darn...wish I weren't working so hard during the holidays, or I'd be on one of those boats. Thanks for sharing this; the Galapagos has been on my radar for a while. Have you been? Cheers.
I never got to the Galapagos by ship, but I met some of the turtles when I sailed to St. Helena in the Atlantic. Darwin picked some up, but left them on the island eventually.
I do want to go to photograph wildlife there. Wish I could slot it in.
Got something to say?
