    Galapagos day 2

    July 23, 2023 in Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    We started our day on Floreana with an early morning hike to a lagoon to see flamingos, pelicans and blue footed boobies then to a beautiful beach to see crabs and turtle nests. We returned to the boat and prepared for our first snorkelling. Within the first five seconds of jumping into the water we saw a hammer head shark 🦈 standards were set. We saw sea turtles and so many colourful fish and corals. We returned to the boat and did a quick change and took a boat to the post office, this was actually a barrel where people leave letters and post cards with the hope of someone else picking them up who is going there soon. I’m the afternoon we took a bus to the only fresh water source on the island and learnt about the history of the people who lived there. We also learnt about the work of the National park and the whaling ships who stole tortoises. On our way we saw sea lions, penguins and iguanas!Read more
