Charles Darwin

We've come to the end of Charles's voyage in The Beagle. What would people like to have happen now? He could go round again?

Hello @elonmusk - would you care to drop me a free blue check, and I'll start tweeting my diary again. Deal?

So @bookingcom are telling us they're going to charge us a late cancellation … for a booking for a hotel we didn't cancel but did actually stay at in Greece a month ago. My advice: steer clear of @bookingcom

No it isn't, it's just ignorance scientificamerican.com/artic…

The first sight of the shores of England inspired me with no warmer feelings, than if it had been a miserable Portugeese settlement

Came to an anchor at Falmouth.

I am sure the pleasure of living in the open air, with the sky for a roof, and the ground for a table is an inherent delight in man

Amongst the other most remarkable spectacles, which we have beheld - an active volcano

A traveller should be a botanist, for in all views plants form the chief embellishment

Other losses after a period tell heavily - the want of room, of seclusion, of rest, and lastly even of music

Many of the losses which must be experienced on a voyage are obvious such as that of the society of all old friends

Travel ought to teach good humoured patience, unselfishness, the habit of acting for himself, and of making the best of everything

No one would guess that this was the great market for the numberless oranges imported into England

I have too deeply enjoyed the voyage not to recommend to any naturalist to take all chances, and to start on travels

The Isld of St Michaels is considerably larger & three times more populous & enjoys a more extensive trade than Terceira

It appears to me that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist, than a journey in distant countries
