Harry Potter-esque interior of the library of a yellow church in Lima with some pigeons outside it. 

We went round the Galapagos Islands on this boat, the motor yacht 'Beluga'. It was very pleasant indeed. 

Rays of some kind, Galapagos Islands. 

Sunset again, Galapagos Islands. This might be Isabella, or it might be Bartoleme. It all merges together. 

Someone mentioned that there aren't many pictures of me on this blog. This is why. 

Seabird counter-measures, Bartoleme, Galapagos Islands.  

A whale died on or near this beach in the Galapagos Islands. See, there are bones and everything. 

Look! We crossed the Equator! On a boat! It says so on the positioning radar screen thing, down on the bottom left, where northerliness reads 0,00,00N. See it? Oh, please yourselves. 

Insert your own crab-related pun here. 

A big old pile of marine iguanas on Bartoleme, Galapagos. I've got loads of these photos. 

Slightly wonky shot of some marine iguanas on Bartoleme.  

Another sunset in the Galapagos Islands, this time somewhere off Bartoleme, I think. 

Blue-footed booby on some rocks, Galapagos islands. There were lots of these curious things around and much hilarious booby-related wordplay was engaged in, as you can imagine. 

Turtle, Galapagos. We saw loads of these and they surfaced occasionally but this is about as close as we got to them, apart from while snorkelling. Since I don't have a waterproof camera, this is the best shot I can show you. 

Santa Cruz harbour, Galapagos, as viewed from our yacht (the 'Beluga') which was moored in the harbour.

A curious, slow-moving old lump carrying a patterned dome structure. And a tortoise.

Post Office Bay, Floreana, Galapagos. This is where the whalers used to leave letters to be collected by passing ships, as early as the 18h century. Now it's used by tourists to save on postage - they leave postcards in the post barrel and other toursits come and sift through the pile to find things going to their home countries and take them with them. Apparently this is more efficient than the Ecuadorian postal service. 

Sea lions on Espanola, Galapagos. 

Albatross flying overhead on Espanola, Galapagos. 

Crab, hiding somewhere on Floreana island, Galapagos. 

Sea lions on, I think, Espanola island, Galapgagos. 

Land iguana on North Seymour Island, Galapagos.

Some of the things we've seen so far in the Galapagos Islands, of which we've only seen the southern part of Santa Cruz around Puerto Ayora.

Machu Picchu, Peru. Well worth going back to.
