Wow. People of this earth - you all have to go.
Yes its expensive, and yes its far away - but in a few years it will be gone and you can now have seen it with your own eyes!
Theres nothing like these islands. Its snorkling and diving among huge schools of fish, swiming and playing with playful young sea-lions,
watching sea-iguanas swim , freezing your butt while watching huge sharks below you. Its cold and then immediately scorching hot, and its a boat that makes you sleepy and awake on the same time. Its stepping your foot in what seems like a land that no-one has gone before. Its also watching the Blu-Foot Bobbie do his love dance (stepping its feet and opening its wings and wisteling like a real israeli "ars") . Next to that bird, there is the Freegate bird - while the females fly above to their easiness, the male creates the nest and then invites them to make out with him by inflating his red chest baloon (looks like a HUGE heart) and opening its wings and clacking his beek - we have videos of these all! And then, the albatros also doing their love game - clacking like a gun machine! Right next to the blow hole that is the primar producer of rainbows in this world... :-)
And the extra amazing thing - these animals are not afraid of us! they are completely fine being 1 meter away and doing their thing.

We were a little sea-sick (thank you Jean and Julian for the patches - they saved us!) and now back in Quito we are a little land-sick... you know, everything seems to move...
Met some great people on the boat, especially Angela and Fritz which we will see again in Cuzco (they are traveling for 14 months!). Had good food on board with some crazy everyday schedule b/c Juan the guide wanted to make sure we get to see everything. Also saw the infamos Lonesome George - the HUGE land turtle that lives in the Darwin center and cannot find the right female for himself.
Diving - we did some, also had a little scary problematic incident (well, Mor did..) and we then realized that snorkling is almost as good or sometimes even better!
All in all we had an amazing time, and very very happy we did it. Very much recommended.
Right now we are trying to upload the pictures so you can see some. Hopefully later on!
