Galapagos: Day 2 - Tortoise Porn

Our agent came to the boat this morning with all the customs guys and had as all cleared in. So we are free now to tour the islands!

We walked back to the Darwin Research Centre this afternoon with Jan and Gary during opening hours. There seems to always be something exciting happening at the giant tortoise pit. This time, there were two having the loudest, slowest, most awkward sex I've ever seen. It was...disturbing to say the least. The lighting is not so great in this picture, but it's happening...

We walked past an open fish market where fisherman were cutting up wahoo that they had JUST caught. There were seals and pelicans hovering around, waiting for scraps. This place is so cool!


It is amazing how 'dog-like' these sea lions are. You really get a feeling like you are interacting with some sort of sea-dog with them.

Tortoiseman never really 'took off' like Batman did.

Advanced scientific techniques have allowed humans to differentiate black sand from white sand.

Don't go licking mysterious trees here. Some are poisonous.

Minnie and I are looking at leaving the boat for a few days and checking out some of the various islands here. They have hostels at the bigger islands we can stay at.

Minnie is flying out on the 8th and Jan is flying out on the 9th of April, so Gary and I will be staying until around then. After that, it's just the two of us on the biggest adventure of our lives! Crossing the pacific!
