This is a travel day for us and what an adventure to get from Guayaquil to Isla Isabela, Galápagos Islands !
We began at 6am- rise and shine! Packed suitcases &
out the door by 7am, down for breakfast and on the bus at 8am for the airport! Whew we were on time!
At the airport there is a list of check points. First our fearless leader confirmed we had passes in our name for the Galapagos, we were able to skip the vaccination and health check ( doctor was on holiday); Next was Galapagos quarantine check where our suitcases and backpacks were x-rayed and secured. They were looking for fruit. After that you take your suitcases to Avianca to check in for the flight. The rest is standard airport rigmarole. The flight to GPS ( Galapagos) was about an hour and a half. GPS airport had a sign bragging about how the baggage delivery system used no electricity. That is because all the bags are handled manually, and in addition, a dog who walks all over your stuff sniffing for fruit. The dog is powered by a motivator ball. He will sniff for fruit all day long, just for the chance to play with the ball.
From the airport there was a bus ride, barge ride, bus ride, speed boat ride, barge ride and bus ride to our final destination Scalesia Lodge.Lue lisää

We have arrived
22. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
After a long day of travel we arrived at the Scalia Lodge. The lodge is on a large acreage that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. We are staying in tents, but don’t feel sorry for us as the have warm beds, showers and functional toilets. The food here is good. It is a secluded beautiful place!
The only noise is the rooster calls that begin at 2amLue lisää

Early morning Nature walk
23. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
It was an early start this morning with breakfast at 6:30. The morning activities include a coastal nature walk. We are guided by a local naturalist Joel and he talks about the marine iguanas we see, as well as the mangrove trees, sea lions and white tipped sharks. Marine iguanas are ugly creatures that I have had a hard time warming up to. They don’t get out of the way when you approach them, which seems rude, and on top of that they will blow salt water out their noses if you look at them for any length of time. That seems even more rude. We also saw the blue footed booby. It looks like a seagull with blue feet. Most of the boobys have moved to a different part of the island now. We expected to see more of them. We only saw four. We did not see any Penguins. That was too bad for us as the penguins moved out of our neighbourhood as well.Lue lisää

Shark infested waters!
23. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Dianne and I brought some snorkeling gear with us and we rented more. We added short wet suits to our list as the water is an unseasonably cold 68 degree Fahrenheit. I have convinced Dianne that the white tipped shark is the only shark with no teeth, so she has agreed to swim in the shark infested waters of Isabella Island. I would describe her as cautious when it comes to snorkeling with sharks but with very little motivation, she’s in the water. I get in after her and when she holds my arm as we prepare to move out for this adventure she holds my arm like she is trying to choke a cougar. Even so, we do get going and swim somewhat together. The area is lava reefs that have canyon like walls. The swim is through these canyons and you see fish, sharks and the odd sea lion. I can tell that Dianne is nervous about the toothless sharks because when she holds on to me it is a strong grip.Lue lisää

Afternoon nature walk
23. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Our afternoon walk is in hopes of seeing a giant tortoise. Unlike other kinds of wildlife, once you find one, it doesn’t run away fast. The walk starts off with the usual iguanas and birds. One sharp eyed hiker spots a round rock, hidden in the trees. Casey has found a giant tortoise. It is a ways away and had to see, but I have a long lens and I get some shots of this elusive creature. It is the back end of the tortoise, much like most of my wildlife shots. Further down the road, we find another one. This time not so far into the bush. I was able to move faster than this tortoise and get a picture of the front end this time. Still later, by a “watch out for tortoises” sign we find one in the middle of the road. It has a GPS tracker on it doesn’t mind posing for photos.Lue lisää

The Wall of Tears
23. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
This afternoon’s trek was described as a power walk. The walk was usually at a fast pace except when we stopped to see the giant tortoises. We saw three altogether. And they are impressive.
The end of the walk was a wall built by prisoners of a penal colony that used to be located here. There was no reason for the wall except to keep the prisoners busy! This was sad but amazing. The wall was 3meters thick and 100 meters long and 5-6 meters high! It was built from 1946-1959.Lue lisää

To the volcano!
24. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Another early morning so we can be first to see the volcano. We start off with ponchos on and wet weather gear. By the time we get to the Sierra Negra Volcano, it has stopped raining and we have stowed the wet weather gear. Along the the way we take pictures of birds, one of them an endangered species.Lue lisää

Giant tortoise visit
24. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
What we are visiting is a Giant tortoise breeding centre. The giant tortoise is an endangered species so they are making a big effort to bring the population back with a breeding program. Giants start out small, and by the time they are 7 years old they around 5 kilos. At 100 years of age my guess is they weigh around 250 kilos. Tortoises live 150 years if things go well for them and they continue breeding late into life. Past the century mark, again if things go well. One famous tortoise was breeding at the age of 150. He was Super Diego.Lue lisää

Flamingos, and some other birds.
24. toukokuuta 2022, Ecuador ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Pink Flamingos have an exotic name to go with their exotic look. Dianne got some nice pictures of some on our last full day in Galapagos. The pictures should look even better when we blow them up. I got some other random birds in here as well.Lue lisää
