San Cristibal, Galapagos Islands, Ecuado

We spent one more night in Santa Cruz before transferring over to our last island, San Cristobal. San Cristobal is absolutely full of sea lions. The whole place stinks of fish!
When we arrived we visited the interpretation centre, which was a museum about the history of the Galapagos. Then we went for a snorkel, but the water was still quite rough so we only really saw fish. In the afternoon we relaxed in the beach but the weather wasn’t fantastic.

The next morning it was bright and sunny so we started the day by visiting Darwin Bay. It was so beautiful and there was heaps of sea life amongst the black rocks and caves. We were lucky enough to swim and play with about five sea lions, who swam in circles around us for about half an hour! It was the best that we had experienced on the Galapagos!! That night, we all went out to a club with our guide. It was a fun night as our tour group is full of really cool people all around our age.

After lunch, we visited La Loberia, a nice beach in the other side of the island. We relaxed amongst the sea lions on the sand before heading back for our last dinner together with our group.

On our final morning we were transferred to the airport pretty early. On the bus, our guide gave me a birthday cake which I had to eat very quickly! Luckily, Alex and I were able to go into the lounge at the airport because we have black Mastercards. We were stoked to find out that they are actually accepted at heaps of airport lounges around the world!Read more
