Galapagos: Day 4 - Isla Isabella

We saw a sea lion sleeping on a bench on our way back to the boat last night. We took some fun photos with him.




Minnie and I took a water taxi over to Isla Isabel (Puerto Villamil) to stay there for a few nights. We got this package deal that includes transportation, lodging, food, and a bunch of excursions. There was even a guy waiting for us when we arrived with our names written on a little sign (like you see at the airport sometimes). I have never had that before. I felt really important.

The water taxi ride was a brutal two hour ride at over 30 knots, motoring directly into the waves.

It was totally worth it though, Isabel is marvellous.



Our first excursion took us to this brine pit where flamingos are commonly seen. There are usually a ton here, but there were only a few when we went.
