Day 92: Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

First of all, I have to apologize that it has been so long since I last updated my Travelogue. I was also working on my website that is finally open: www.korkeakoski.org – more travel photos there.

I guess almost everyone who gets to Ecuador will visit Galapagos Islands. It’s definitely one of those “once in the lifetime” opportunities to see animals that cannot be found anywhere else. I visited it as well and instead of doing those boat trips that seem to be almost everyone’s choice I opted out for more individual plan.

Galapagos has some nice sceneries as well but most of the people come here for the main attraction – wild life. This bird is called “blue footed boobie” and it is as tame as every other species on these islands!

Dia 92: Islas Galapagos, Ecuador

Primero, me disculpo que no he escrito mi Travelogue. Trabajé con mi paginas de internet y finalmente están abierto: www.korkeakoski.org – puedes ver más fotos allí.

Creo que casi todos que vengan a Ecuador va a visitar las Islas Galápagos. Es “es una experiencia única en la vida“ ver los animales que no pueden ver en cualquier otro lugar. Yo lo visité también, pero no fui en el viaje largo del barco como casi todos los otros.

Las Islas tienen algunos paisajes agradables también pero la mayor parte de la gente viene aquí para la atracción principal - vida salvaje. Este pájaro se llama (yo creo) alcatraz patiazul y es tan doméstico como todos los especies en estas islas.

I think this is an excellent shot, and I'm suprised you did not rceive any comment.
The green blurred background is perfect.
The bird is really cute. I always loved these gannets. Their expression is a mix of nasty and stupid, and then those strange blue feet !
