The Galapagos routine is a good one. Each night we sail to a new island. In the morning we land and explore for a few hours. A mid morning snorkel precedes lunch. Then another afternoon walk followed by an activity like snorkeling or kayaking. All day the ship's cook stuffs us with delicious meals. | |||
Go
to Espanola Island for the albatrosses. These birds waddle to the cliffs for take
off. Once airborne, their huge wingspans keep them gliding in the air without
much flapping. A procession of albatrosses lumbering along the ground towards
the runway is a sight to see. | |||

Flamingoes on the Galapagos?
Blown here generations ago, they're stranded on the islands. They draw lake bed
abstracts with their feet on Floreana Island. | |||
