Floreana of Floreana Island

Day 2 on the island of Floreana began with another snorkel. This time the water was much clearer and we saw a manta ray, many fish, and a few turtles.

After lunch we had a much needed siesta before taking off for a hike through the highlands. As we hiked up the mountain we saw a few more tortoises while our guide Jimmy told us about the history of the island, which involved 2 German families, cheating, and multiple murders.
