Hey there my Steemit friends! In a recent post titled How to Do the Galapagos on a Budget I talk about all different things about exactly that. One of the topics I went into detail about was self tours. On the Galapagos Islands if you want to part with your money there will always be someone around to help you with exactly that! Especially tour agencies, but the reality of the matter is they are really not needed unless you are going scuba diving or visiting some nearby uninhabited islands.
The day before I hiked up this hill called "La Tejeretas". I saw a sign showing a hiking trail that was several kilometers long taking you up the south western side of the coast. Sounded like an excellent self tour. A couple days earlier on my Travel Pro Adventure on the Southern Coast I found myself in the mid-day sun. Boy was it strong. I ended up with a slight sunburn.
So the night before I set my alarm to 5:30 am and went to bed early. Planning on avoiding this strong afternoon sun I started my day as if I had an early morning flight to catch; something that is definitely not too foreign to this "Travel Pro". I was up an hour before the sunrise. I made myself a little breakfast of mixed fruit, nuts, and chocolate. I ate half of it and brought the other half with me for the hike.
The sun was just coming up as I left the hotel at about 6:20 in the morning. I was a bit concerned. While I was having my breakfast I began to hear the pitter-patter of rain starting to fall outside my hotel window. I grabbed my umbrella, looked out the hotel front door, and just stood there for a good minute just watching the rain fall. I took a deep breath, opened my umbrella, and said to myself "It's time for a Travel Pro Adventure!" and I headed out! Now come along and let's explore the Galapagos together!
Great adventure. The Galapagos are on my bucket list. My wife and I are headed to Morocco in April. I think this trip may be our next one, probably Spring of next year. If we travel in the shoulder season, what month would you recommend?
Also, I am upvoting my comment to put it above the other one. I think it is a virus. Don't click on it. I will report it to Steemcleaners. All that blank space is very suspicious.
How fluent is your Spanish? I'm assuming that it's the prevalent language spoken there. Also, are you currently travelling alone there? What are your accomodation and how long have you been staying there? Forgive my questions, I'm trying pick the mind of a travel pro :D
Haha! Go out and spread your wings, brother! It's a shame the relationship didn't last. At least you became fluent in Spanish because of it.
Great Pics Dan! I feel like I have been to the Galapagos now! Thanks. Angie and I are in Bangkok now. If you happen to find yourself in South-East Asia anytime soon!
We hope to see Angelo in a couple weeks. He is in Europe now. But, we will meet up with @mayasiam next week sometime.
I love the pictures of the beach, you always make your photography look so realistic, as if one could walk into the photo and smell and feel the air from the sea. you are an amazing photographer. thank you @world-travel-pro.
