Things they didn't tell me about the Galapagos - 1. There would be a White-cheeked Pintail duck greeding at the breakfast table

Off to the Galapagos today. Looking forward to the variation seen in a certain type of bird.

It's nearly 2.30pm here and afternoon plans include going piranha fishing then taking a ride up in a box being lifted by this crane.

Yesterday afternoon was a climb to the top of a tower above the canopy - nearly 50 metres up. Incredible views.
