Absolutely Galapagos

Absolutely Galapagos provides an insight into every feature of that famous archipelago - warts and all - and a further insight into the unique and confused mind of Brian. And, of course, he is more ‘at sea’ in this book than in any of those that have gone before… It has to be admitted that Brian’s interest in the place that inspired Charles Darwin’s ground-breaking On the Origin of Species was first inspired not by the islands themselves but by the image of a boat. He was simply enthralled at the prospect of sharing a two-week voyage at sea with fourteen other like-minded souls - and with Sandra, of course. So, off they both went - to discover that not only was the boat all they’d hoped it would be but also that the Galapagos Archipelago really was like nowhere else on Earth. His fourteen new companions hadn’t, of course, expected Brian - and his thoughts on matters as diverse as the mystery of how classic literature was produced before the days of creative writing courses. Oh, and Sandra hadn’t expected a daily Brian lecture on some of the more interesting aspects of every single country in South America…
