It HAD to come eventually, you know it did! The rumble to end all rumbles. As far as Aussies are concerned I guess. Well. Those who don’t live in Brisbane I guess. And maybe Adelaide and Perth. Anyhoo… Sydney and Melbourne both have quite a bit to offer the visitor. They are loads of little …
So here it is, a step by step record for anyone who might be interested of my ‘Nine Day’ Intrepid Tour to the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. I’ve written about this tour before but I really wanted to get down to some details in not quite ‘diary’ style but I wanted to cover it well. …
