No tortoises, giant or regular-sized, so I'm not happy.
We went to South Plaza Island today which is stuffed with land iguanas,
sealions and all kinds of other birds and beasts creeping around under big
cacti but not a tortoise in sight. Swam with some Galapagos sealions and the
crews of Harmonie, Quasar and Viva after lunch.
It looks like our tortoise fix is going to have to be Lonesome George and
company at the Charles Darwin Research Station later this week. Jacqui has
suggested I give Lonesome a place on the crew so he can see the world and
get some new girlfriends. His rope-handling and knot-tying skills will have
to be checked out first.
