• Galapagos - Day 4

    July 14 in Ecuador ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

    This morning we took a two hour ferry from Santa Cruz to Isabella Island, our home for the next 2 days. The Dramamine did its job to keep my stomach calm, but also made me quite drowsy. After serving, most of the group took a bike ride to look for tortoises, O stayed behind to rest then explore the town. The group was back together for lunch and an afternoon for a tour and our last snorkeling outing for the trip.
    We took a boat and walking tour through part of the island that serves as a nursery for marine iguana babies and also spotted herons, blue footed boobies, and Galapagos penguins.
    In the water we saw several green sea turtles, black tip sharks, stingrays, fish, and even a penguin. I was able to get a selfie with one of the penguins when it jumped back out of the water.
    As we left the area, several boobies started diving into the water, going after fish.
