Lava Rocks




















This afternoon, Wednesday, we snorkeled and saw many tortoises and a
starfish. We also saw an octopus but he was small and quickly
disappeared in the rocks.

Then later we walked the lava flows. Very difficult walking and very
hot. Fortunately a strong wind was blowing the entire hike which kept us
cool. When we returned to the coast we saw an amazing display of iguanas
and some penguins.

Today is our last day on the ship. Tomorrow we will be taken by bus
across one of the islands where hopefully we will see land tortoises.
We've only seen marine tortoises so far. Then we board the plane to take
us back to Guayaquil.

On our last blog entry tomorrow we will reflect on our experiences in
Galapagos.
