We are on Day 6 of our 7 day trip around the stunning Galapogas Islands....here is my diary from the last few days.....it really is the most amazing place on earth and the best place we have ever visited! Day 1- San Cristobel Island We awoke early this morning excited about our Galapogas trip. After 2 flights and a short bus ride we got the first view of yacht La Pinta which would be our home for the next week. She looked big and new which were both good signs ...

We are very pleased for them and can't believe he will be almost a year old by the time we meet him! We have spent the last four days in here in Arequipa.

It´s now 7.30 and we still have an hour and a half to go until we can collect our backpacks from the travel agency where we left them as there was no point in taking them on the longest day trip of our lives!
