I have spend five amazing days on Galapagos. A trip I never will forget. I can't explain how beautiful Galapagos is.
Rotary changed my group two times, but I finally got to go. I went together with the exchange students from the province Manabi. I was a little bit nervous before going, because I had never been talking with any of those guys (they live more than 8 hours away from me and we don't go on trips together). But they are all super nice and I got a whole bunch of new friends.
As I already told you guys Galapagos is beautiful, such an amazing place. I wish, I already could go back. But lucky me this was my second time on Galapagos, I have been there before with my danish family, but long time ago. It was weird seeing the same things and remembering how I also have seen that with my family...
Well now let me tell you about my amazing adventures.
We were living on the island called, Santa Cruz. Our hotel was really nice and we were living right in the middle of the town, that was awesome. There was a lot of tourist and something to do every night. We were divided in two groups for the daily activities, because only 16 people could be on each boat. My group was a super nice group.
I have been snorkeling with sea turtles, sharks, penguins (I have also touched them), sea lions, marine iguanas, stingrays and a million different fish in every single possible color, size and shape. The water was so blue and so clear. One day when we were sailing we saw a big group of dolphins, around 30 dolphins. They swam right in front of our boat. They were playing and doing tricks, the water was so clear and they were so near that we could see everything. Nothing less than amazing. The water could be a little bit cold, but the sun was burning so it was nice. And of course as also I got a terrible red sunburned tan - oops haha.
I have seen sea lions and iguanas everywhere! Every 10 meters I walked there would be a new group of sea lions or iguanas. I could get so close to them, it was amazing. The animals are so quiet and calm. God I just love sea lions, they are so cute. The way they wobble when they walk and how they are everywhere without giving a fuck. Then of course all the birds I saw Blue-Footed Boobies, Flamingos, Frigate Birds and more. There are just so many. I didn't see any wild turtles, but we went to two sanctuaries. So I saw the big turtles, I was so lucky that I got to see two turtles having sex, awesome. We didn't walk a lot on the different islands, mostly we stayed on a boat and just sailed around so we could watch the animals from the water.
I was so tired when I got home from Galapagos we had to get up every day around 6 or earlier. But we got to do all these amazing things, so totally worth it.
