One big open air laboratory, the Galápagos islands are a major attraction to anyone who likes nature.
We managed to persuade the captain to travel at night, so we could see the maximum possible animals during the day. I never expected to be so thrilled by tame animals, birds, and most of all by playing with seals. We took a huge amount of pictures, because we were amazed by the abundance of colours, and animals which instead of walking away for humans, actually posed to have a better picture taken. It was a great joy, seemingly endless, to watch those animals and hear the explanations of the guide as to their behaviour. Clearly, the fact that the animals were in their mating season had its effect also on some of the passengers. After the stormy beginning we were all sad when after a week out on the seas we had to board a plane back to Guayaquil.
