Saturday October 30th
Last full day on the MS Islander and we got to sleep in until 0700 this morning! We’ve just returned from an excellent lunch with chicken, chips, grated beets and carrots with salad greens – homemade ice cream with seriously excellent mudslide chocolate chip cookies! The calories from omelettes, fruit and breakfast fixings were burnt off with deep water snorkelling followed by a walk upon a sea lion inhabited white sand beach. Today we met the Espanola Mockingbird – exists on this island only – and we observed many, many more beautiful sea turtles, a pair of Galapagos Hawks playing off the edge of the black lava cliff, and Frigate birds fighting in flight, over a dead fish one of them had picked off the top of the absolutely gorgeous green/blue emerald ocean.
This afternoon we are landing at Punta Suarez where we will enjoy a dry landing from the ponga. We will manoeuvre our way across a lava boulders and rocks to meet…. The Wavy Albatross! Chances of meeting one on the golf course are rare to none but we are here at the opportune time to see that they do indeed exist!
Posting a minute portion of images…
You realise without the photographic evidence that you could just be living vicariously through Kari's experiences ;-). Happy Belated Birthday Pat, and thank you from Aiden for the birthday wishes and awesome card. It was a big hit. Sounds like you are having a great trip. Look forward to seeing the photos, Love Sean, Roo & Aiden
