A bit more about the Galapagos

I just realised, upon reflection, I gave you lots of animal shots from the Galapagos. There is a lot of wildlife, and it is the main attraction, so fair enough but if you want to know more about a Galapagos trip, I've added some photos of the islands. We went in the 'dry' season so I would say the coastline is mainly rocky and the vegetation is the opposite of lush. Occasionally you get the a great beach with clean white sand and crystal blue water but mostly its cliffs or rock pools that line the shore. Its just incredible how well these places thrive when you remove the humans - no matter where you go its birds, fish and mammals galore.

One of the many beaches, littered with coral, seals and shells (Genovesa).
