Another great morning. Early start at 7.15 Am as there is a lot on offer today. Walk to the top of the hill, snorkeling, kayaking all before lunch. Zodiac cruises this afternoon.

The walk was good at Rabida island we have not landed here before. . Greeted early on by a very pink flamingo. Such a beautiful bird. Walking the beach with the sea lions, amazing cactus plants growing out of bare rock with an unusual brown bark. Up close to the Galapagos Hawk. Something interesting all the way. We have had different naturalists on each excursion. So far they have all been good.

My first trip to Galapagos I was not very enthralled. The reason why I have not been back for 10 years. It was REALLY hot, a boat not even close to the silver Galapagos, the food was extremely average , and our guide was not as good as these guides. We have already seen more on this trip that we did on our last trip in a much more comfortable ship. No comparison between the two trips.

Hopefully ken will have time to post more pictures today.
