Galapagos booked!
After trapsing around a load of travel agents, I managed to get my Galapagos trip booked - sort of a last minute deal thingy in first class (ooh, get her) but I shan´t hold my breath for it being anything that extraordinary. Cost an absolute shitload so it better be worth it, but you do apparently get to swim with sea lions, sharks (perhaps not) and penguins so I´m quite excited! Before I go off there, I plan to go an visit the south of Ecuador with Robin (Australian girl) and then will meet up with my colombian buddy Felipe to do the Riobamba area. So I´ve got lots to look forward to!
Still pissing it down here, it´s worse than Manchester, but I´ve started to get to know the town now and am quite happy pottering around during the day. I spend most evenings in the hostel, there are loads of really nice people there, swapping their travelling stories (”I got kidnapped in La Paz,” ” Well, I got attacked by a dominant male sea lion in the galapagos…” etc, etc) all around a lovely campfire, looking out over the city. Going to spend the rest of today in the New town and am meeting up with a nice, but slightly moany Dutch girl for a coffee later on. May even hit the town tonight for some tequilas!
Hi Anna sounds like you are having fun and meeting some interesting people.Hope you are not spending all your money on first class!!!!! Have a lovely time…..Steve

liverpool actually won 5-0 (thought you’d like to know that the world has gone mad back in the UK whilst you were not there to keep it steady!) Galapagos is one of those places that is fairly near to the top of my list of places I MUST SEE…so you’ve beaten me, I will just have to go on living my life vicariously…ahh. Love you and am envious!

tequila’s ay? and I doubt it’s worse than Manchester, the rain there at least isn’t tainted with snow like ours is at the moment!
When you off to the Galapagos then? don’t get attacked by a dominant sea lion!
