Went on a really fancy big boat to Santa Fe today. It´s a 2hr jouney (on the boat we went on). Got there at about 10am. Went for a little trip in the dingy to look at blue-footed boobies, sea lions, marine iguanas on the rocks. Then onto the beach where there are sea lions. Not the mating season so it was pretty quiet.
Walk on a path to spot the land iguana. That was nice as I`ve not seen them yet. Only hunderds of marine iguanas. Also spotted a baby land iguana. They are a greenish-yellow colour where the marine ones are black (because they eat the black algae on the rocks - apparently). Spotted a Galapagos hawk, but it was flying and couldn`t see it up close.
Snorkel. Visability pretty good.
Fantastic lunch - better be, cost me $95 for today´s trip. Then home. Only 4:30pm. Meeting Helen, John and Susan for dinner tonight. May head over to the Darwin Research station now.
Tried to organise for a group to go to Bartholome tomorrow, but don`t think that is going to happen. Next time...
