Info about Galapagos
Sorry Becky, just read your little comment.
Not sure how much everyone knows about the Galapagos, but with the risk of patronising you all, it`s a group of islands in the Pacific ocean, about 1000km away west of Ecuador (which belong to Ecuador). They are volcanic islands and have amazing wildlife and plantlife. It´s a national reserve, so there are very strict rules in place in order to protect everything on the islands. It´s probably the only place in the world that you can get so close to all the animals, fish and birds, as they are not scared of humans. They are so well protected that they cannot be hunted etc., so they have no reason to fear you. So it´s a bit like a paradise where all the different parts of nature live together in harmony - it´s a really beautiful place.
hi Anna hope that you are enjoying and are taking plenty of pics to show when you come back. Take care Stevex
