Galapagos was amazing and the vacation flew by. I saw amazing birds and marine creatures. I learnt more about the country, their peoples and enjoyed the terrain. I know there were fellow travellers who became unwell and registered complaints. We consulted and followed the directions from our travel doctors. We arrived premedicated to a new and different country. I brought over the counter medications because a new setting, different food and preparation can cause GI upset. We were prepared. for the altitude and environment. These travel suggestions were included in our pre trip instructions.
