Blog: Hole In The Donut - 1 November 2011
While my words may have painted an intriguing picture of the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, there is nothing like video to get a true feel for a place, so I’ve put together a video of many of the animals I saw during my recent cruise and set it to music. Hope you enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lFQ8NBZz64 Can’t [...]

Hot Babes and Cool Dudes in the Galapagos
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 28 October 2011
After five days of sailing and shore visits to eight different islands, our naturalists suddenly announced that we hadn’t yet “seen” the Galapagos. Though the islands are famous for uber-friendly sea lions and Blue-Footed Boobies that perform a unique dance as part of their mating ritual, they are best known for their land tortoises. Even [...]

Adventures with Sea Lions in the Galapagos Islands
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 24 October 2011
I have always felt an affinity with wild animals and they, likewise, seem inordinately attracted to me. On a visit to the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York this summer, a black racer snake crawled across my foot. On safari in the Serengeti of Africa we encountered a lion sleeping with his head hidden behind [...]

The Great Myth and Greater Mystery of the Galapagos Islands
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 20 October 2011
Our panga motored to within a few feet of a nondescript crescent beach backed by jagged, guano-encrusted rock cliffs. Though it looked like a thousand other beaches, its unremarkable appearance didn’t temper my excitement, for this was Darwin Bay on the island of Genovese in the Galapagos Islands, one of the most iconic natural destinations [...]

Tortuga Bay: Killing Time in the Galapagos
Blog: GoBackpacking - 16 September 2011
Monday morning began at 7 AM with the metallic sound of a ringing bell aboard the Eden. I’d slept well, given the yacht had been anchored in a quiet harbor. On our modified agenda for Day 2 was a visit to Tortuga Bay on Santa Cruz Island. Felipe assured us it offered was one of [...]--------- Join Travel Blog Success today and learn to build a better travel blog.

Blogopagos - Living in a zoo
Blog: Seth of the Equator - 22 April 2010
I'm at the bar at the Sol y Mar hotel in Puerto Ayora on the island of Santa Cruz, in the Galapagos. The bar is in the back, and has a small pool and a deck which faces out into Pelican Bay--named for the many pelicans who live here and feed on the fish. There's actually a pelican standing on the deck immediately adjacent to the pool, enjoying some shade, but no one's paying him much attention. That's not actually surprising. It's easy to miss a preening pelican when there's a sea lion swimming in the pool.
