The wildlife here is very rich and we are enjoying it immensely. By living on the water, we are very close to the marine life. One morning we were woken up by some splashing and bumping against the hull. Paul stayed in bed while the curious me was well entertained by a young sea-lion feeding on a fish banging it against the hull to shred it into bite size pieces, while a pelican and several frigate birds came to get their share.  It was well worth watching this while the sun was rising.

We have so many pictures and films and are struggling to make choices for the blog...

Marine Iguanas really blend into the black volcanic rocks. The more we looked around the more we saw.

Giant tortoises grow as old as 180 years, we saw some young once that fit just in the palm of your hand, amazing to think they grow so large.

We had a fun day-trip with Barry & Pru (Good 2 Go), Pavlina and Deborah, who managed to get to the Galapagos and our guide Carlos

And we swam with sea-lions:

                                  And Darwin is very present in the Galapagos
