Whoever invented 'Spoons'...

Wed, 7 Dec 2011 | By bekinthebigblue | Views [1649]

...is officially my new hero! Just spent a good portion of the night screaming, yelling, grabbing and laughing hysterically...best fun I've had in a long time (its a card game with spoons for those who are lost..). I won 2 rounds and was close on winning ... Read more >

It's suddenly my last week at the station...

....and I'm stoked I've made the decision to leave early to see more of the Galapagos, but have made this place home and met some absolutely amazing people. Miss my aussie buddy Liz and gorgeous Jeanette who left last week. Life here isn't the same without ... Read more >

Controversial decision made (well...more like 'expensive' decision made...)

I've decided to leave the station a week early and spend some time in San Cristobal and Santa Cruz diving. Considering it costs $120 for 2 dives, I'm looking at a fairly expensive week before my flight to Quito on December 18. I'll also have to pay for ... Read more >

"Bek, I love ya like a sister, but get the hell out of our room!"

Sun, 4 Dec 2011 | By bekinthebigblue | Views [680]

...it appears Phil and Steve were getting sick of a rum-fueled Bek at 2am this morning. In all fairness, I was in the doorway, NOT the room... 4 amazing days on tour with 9 peeps from the station and hot showers weren't REMOTELY the highlight! Try ... Read more >

Swinging a machete whilst hideously hung over was not in the plan...

...but that's what today held for me :) After dinner and glorious chocolate cake last night, a few of the boys made a fire to rival any I have seen...top top work by the fire starters! We sat around randomly chatting, then headed to the bar around ... Read more >

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 | By bekinthebigblue | Views [492]

And I'll...weed if I want to? Well, it's better than some of the other options for today... Got up, opened my door (after saying hi to George) and saw a beautiful flower, card and some choccie biccies from Christina and Silke - friends from ... Read more >

Farmer Karma

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 | By bekinthebigblue | Views [446]

After another awesome day of diving and snorkling yesterday, our group got taxis back to the station and even though we left behind hot showers and most joys of a normal life (!) it felt like coming home. Dare I say...it's nice to be back :) This ... Read more >

I honestly don't know if I have the words...

What a weekend. Phenomenal. Spectacular. Wild. Breathtaking. Four amazing dives at Kicker Rock which is just 30mins by boat from port. Kicker Rock is a sheer walled cone rising out of the sea...only accessible by boat. On Saturday Phil and I were ... Read more >

First ever swim with a sea lion....

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 | By bekinthebigblue | Views [437]

....and it was phenomenal!! Our group headed out in taxis (well, trucks with flatbeds that we all piled into) and spent the morning at Puerto Chino...a beach about 30mins from the station. We sat in the sun, walked the beach, walked the rocks ... Read more >

From machete to hoe - turns out I like them too... (I know theres a joke in there somewhere...)

Considering a fair few peeps got stuck into the Pilsner and rum last night, I managed to get out of it pretty unscathed. I was very conscious that today involved an entire morning of hoeing...ridding an area of more raspberry vines - we had some stunning ... Read more >

Harry Potter won't be getting his mail...

...cause his owl is here in the Galapagos. We were chopping down more raspberry vines this morning with machetes (i swear the vines have minds of their own and attack me at every opportunity) and we found an owl sleeping in the hollow of a tree. Super ... Read more >

Ecuador (Quito & Banos)

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 | By cwalker1218 | Views [4108] | Comments [2]

It’s amazing how quickly you adapt to the habitat you’re in. We flew from Leticia in the Amazon Jungle to Quito, Ecuador (via Bogota) and it felt weird being in a city again. Ecuador is the 4th country we’re visiting out of 9 on this trip. It feels ... Read more >

I live in Jurassic Park :)

Tue, 22 Nov 2011 | By bekinthebigblue | Views [434]

What a top day...apart from the breakfast of burnt porridge and papaya, which I've decided I don't like at all (papaya that is, not porridge). We were given options this morning in terms of work. Caesar needed groups to cut down dead banana trees for ... Read more >

I . LOVE. MACHETES.

I've decided the mosquito net over my bed is not so much a mosquito net, but a spider net. Got to bed last night to face 4 Eduardorian residents staring at me from various corners of the room. But that isn't the problem...that comes when they disappear ... Read more >
