Galapagos Picture Gallery

Your camera gets a serious work out in the Galapagos.  We ran out of battery 2 days into our little holiday on board the Eden but still managed to get all these.  San Cristobal is one of the old islands with cobbled streets and charming street signs.  When ever Mark got lost he used to look for the road named Una Via and found it always took him back to the dock.  He only discovered  as we were leaving that it actually the 'one way' sign in Spanish.  San Cristobal is also the home to the largest population of Sea Lions - sea dogs really they are so friendly and human

Sea lions on the beach at night - noisy and smelly








Not Welcome everywhere - especially on the back of Zenna
The Eden

No shopping, cooking or washing up for 4 days




Jessica from the Eden clearly related to the Blue footed booby







Back to normal - shopping

Taxi to shore -dare not take the dingy with all the sea lions around
Home sweet home





Turtle Rescue


Tasty snack for frigate birds

But some made it to the water with a little help


But we don't know if they made it past the sharks...
Giant tortoise fight.  Highest head wins - long necks and friends to stand on very useful
