Diary for ScouseLeeM on Tour


Tintoreras, Calera, Santa Cruz - Galapagos

2015-10-30

A morning at Tintoreras walking, literally, through a sea of iguanas - needing to tip toe gently between them without standing on the little buggars, followed by a fabulous snorkel at Calera - a shallow spot with a dozen sea turtles, first sightings of marine iguanas swimming past us, and a enormous manta ray - fabulous spot, shame I got my back burned to buggary as decided to leave the wet suit off. A few decent photos despite the naff disposable camera to boot...then onwards to Santa Cruz, the main island most tourists head to, to base ourselves for a few days while jetting out on day trips to 2 uninhabited islands.

In the afternoon, we head out out to hike across the island to Tortuga Bay, for some relaxation in a beautiful mangrove beach, ready for an early start the next day..
