[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]My wife and I are planning a "once in a lifetime" trip to the Galapagos Islands for May and I wondered if any other LUGers had any experience of the islands. In particular a couple of questions come up. Firstly, we are being offered a 4 day and a 7 day trip. Do the islands warrant a 7 day visit or will we get sick of looking at blue footed boobies etc. and just find ourselves repeating the experience over again. Secondly, a stop over in Quito can be arranged for 4 days - is this worthwhile and how difficult is the altitude there to deal with. And thirdly (and partly to keep it on subject) will my 200mm lens (Leica of course) be long enough for most of the wildlife, who I have a feeling are so used to cameras they are sponsored by Kodak! Thanks for your help. Gerry
