The Galloping Grandma is off on another Adventure - this time to the Galapagos Islands (on the Equator off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean) and the Amazon Rain Forest!! A 20-day holiday incorporating a 2-week cruise around the 'Enchanted Isles' in an elegant two-masted Topsail Schooner (without ever having to lift a finger in the Galley!), a visit to Antisana (all that snow and no skis!), plus a 4-day extension to the Amazon Jungle....... me and spiders?????

Tickets
Our tickets arrived on Saturday, together with a booklet about Sacha Lodge, our home in the rain forest. The photographs look absolutely amazing - especially the observation tower and canopy walkways! The tower is constructed around an ancient Kapok tree and is 135 foot high. The canopy bird walk is a rigid self-standing suspended walkway. Two of the three towers have observation decks every 40 feet. The walkway is 900 feet long, suspended 120 feet above the forest floor!!! Photos when I get there! I knew climbing the mast on Stavros would stand me in good stead for something!
