San Cristobal Island




This morning we arrived at San Cristobal Island, had a long beach walk, saw oyster catchers, marine iguanas, sally lightfoot crabs, and lots of sea lions lounging around. Had some fun with my camera, taking jumping shots. Went for a snorkel afterwards, it was very relaxing.

Life on board is fantastic, the meals are wonderful, I love the salsa music Jeff puts on in the bar in the evening. We went into the town later, for a long hot walk (it is so humid!) and then cooled off with a couple of beers in a place along the port. Some of the group tried the very hot chillies that were growing in bushes surrounding..it was hilarious.

Happy hour went on even after dinner, for us anyway! We have met Ben, a young guy from Melbourne, who is a terrible influence on us…. It’s hard to believe we only have a couple of days left in the magnificent Galapagos Islands.
