The Galapagos was awesome but Kajsa's company, the nice people on the boat, and the luxurious catamarang made it that much more fantastic. Plus no sea sickness but the tablets did make us quite sleepy!

We basically spent five days sailing around the islands snorkelling, hiking on the islands looking at animals, eating well, tanning and getting some much needed sleep. Telling you about the animals here could bore you to death so check out the pics - again mostly thanks to Kajsa.

Although the animals were great my 2 best experiences were on the boat:
- The first was lying outside in the net at the front of the catamarang just staring at the perfect stars on a clear night as we motored between 2 islands. For a while all we could hear was sea crashing below us and not a light to be seen besides the stars.
- Second was on our last afternoon as we motored across to our last island. The seas were high and we were stood up front on one of the two bows - the boat would go up one swell then come crashing down at least 12ft leaving you drenched and hanging to the rail for dear life. I nearly split my sides when Kajsa described the eventful shower she had had when we first hit the big swells!

Prep for departure
After the Galapagos I had a great last few days in Montañita but the town is begining to slow down and the clouds are rolling in. Mark got back from the highland of Baños on the weekend too - they sound like the had a great time - even went white water rafting - bastards! Ross and Sadie headed off for a week in the forests then Ross heads to Columbia when Sadie heads back to Montañita. Link to Ross´s pics http://picasaweb.google.com/rgecairns/Ecuador
