Galápagos

January 16, 2021

During the summer holidays of 2021, my parents organized a great trip to the Galapagos, when they told me the news I was very excited and I got going. I started packing my clothes, since I didn't have all day I was at school, I did it at night because I'm a night owl.

The next day I saw my father and I asked him about the date we are going to travel and he told me that we were going to travel on Tuesday. The days passed very slowly because I already wanted the trip to be, until the day came.

We went by car to Guayaquil where I boarded a plane for the first time. At first I was a bit nervous but then I loved seeing the scenery and the airline was pretty good. We arrived at an airport that was deserted and we saw many people from different countries.

We stayed at the house of a friend of my father who works there. The first day we sailed on a boat to an island where there were many beautiful animals, but on the way back my father fell out of the boat and had to hang on to a buoy that the navigator threw at him.
The next day we went by bicycle to a distant beach but we got lost and went around a town, then we asked and a kind man guided us, I had never seen such a beautiful beach. Animals such as flamingos, sea lions and sea turtles were found there.

In the afternoon we went to a giant tortoise park, there were excess tortoises but we could not get closer to any animal more than 5 meters since it is a law in that place that everyone respects, at night we went to a luxurious restaurant with a theme of him ocean, we ate sailor rice and a lot of shellfish, the food was very tasty.
