<p>Gleich vorne weg: Galapagos ist kein karibisches Inselparadies mit weißen Stränden, Palmen, Hängematten und Bikini-Mädels… Die Galapagos Inseln sind teils grau und trocken, teils grün und feucht, haben etwas Mystisches und sind unglaublich faszinierend.</p>
<p>Normalerweise bereist man dieses Archipel mit dem Boot: mindestens 5 Tage lang werden die Inseln angefahren, mit 2 Aktivitäten pro Tag (Landbesichtigung oder Schnorcheln). Wir haben uns allerdings für die indivuelle (und günstigere) Art entschieden: Flug gebucht, ein paar Tage auf der einen Insel (Santa Cruz), ein paar Tage auf einer anderen (San Cristobal) und Tagestouren unternommen. Das war eine sehr gute Entscheidung, weil wir nur so auch ein bisschen in das (vorweihnachtliche) Inselleben eintauchen und einen genialen Tauchausflug erleben durften. Mit einer super Truppe ging es an diesem Tag von San Cristobal aus zum Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido) und eingepackt in dicke Neopren-Anzüge, Handschuhe und Mützen ging&#8217;s zusammen mit den Seelöwen runter zu den Haien, den Rochen, den Schildkröten und den vielen bunten Fischschwärmen. A day to remember…!!!</p>
<p>Das Faszinierende an diesen Inseln ist die Tierwelt, der man auch als Mensch zu 100% angehört. Damit meinen wir, dass die Tiere einfach keine Angst vor uns Menschen haben und man dadurch ganz anders &#8220;integriert&#8221; wird &#8211; eine komplett neue Erfahrung! Die Seelöwen spielen mit dir beim Schnorcheln, die Schildkröten ziehen den Kopf nicht ein und plötzlich wird auch ein kleiner Spatz zu einem sehr interessanten Geschöpf, weil er fast auf deiner Hand landet und sich nicht mehr weg bewegt.</p>
<p>Unser &#8220;Reiseführer&#8221; für die Tage auf Galapagos war der gute alte Darwin, der in größter naturwissenschaftlicher Detail-Verliebtheit die Unterschiede der Riesen-Schildkröten von Insel zu Insel oder die Eigenschaften der Leguane beschreibt… Perfekt!</p>
<p>Man braucht ein paar Tage, um das Besondere der Inseln spüren und genießen zu können, aber dann ist es einfach wirklich unglaublich! Vor allem auf San Cristobal könnte man es gut noch länger aushalten, wenn man dann auch das Surfbrett dabei hätte für diese perfekten Wellen…</p>

<p><a name="english"></a>ENGLISH VERSION</p>
<p>First of all: Galapagos is not a Caribean paradise with white beaches, palmtrees, hammocks and girls in bikinis… The Galapagos Islands are partly grey and dry, partly humid and green, have somehow a mystic character and are unbelievably fascinating.</p>
<p>Normally you go there with on boat cruise: at least 5 days you live on the boat and head to different islands, with two activities per day (snorkelling or inland tour). We did it in a different &#8211; and cheaper &#8211; way: we just booked a flight, spent some days on the one island (Santa Cruz), some days on the other islnd (San Cristobal) und did some day trips. This was a very good decision as, like this, we got the chance to live the (pre-christmas) life on the islands and to go on a awesome diving trip. With a very nice group of people we left this day for Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido) and packed in thick wetsuits, gloves and huts we went down together with the sea lions to the sharks, the rays, the turtles and the many, colorful schools of fish. A day to remember…!</p>
<p>The real fascinating thing about the islands is the fauna to which you as a human being belong to for 100%. That means that the animals don&#8217;t have fear and you get &#8220;integrated&#8221; in a completley different way than ever felt before! The sea lions play with you while snorkelling, the turtles don&#8217;t hide and even the smallest bird gets interesting when he almost sits on your hand…</p>
<p>Our travel guide for those days was good old Darwin who described the differences of the turtles from island to island and the characteristics of the iguanas in painful detail… perfect!</p>
<p>You need a few days to feel and enjoy the special character of those islands, but then it is really incredible! Especially on San Cristobal we could easily stay some more days, above all if we had our surfboards for those perfect waves…</p>
