Floreana Island. The first inhabitants were a German Dutchess and her three lovers. Nice. Anyways we got to see the flamingos again in the lagoon. The land was very Jarassic Park. The trees and odd shaped topography. The coolest thing is to see how the forest falls right into a beach. This is me and Rebecca. We had just been walking through the water and rays were swimming over our feet...wierd.
Here is a shot of us just enjoying the beautiful water, land and warm weather.
Huge flocks of flamingos. Notice the scrub brush trees behind, so odd to have in paradise.
We went snorkelling around a point, called the Devil's Crown. It had incredible currents and was wearing all of us out, so we got the little zodiac to pick us up and move us out of the current. As we rolled out of the boat, we fell into a famiily of 4 black tip sharks. We also saw an awesome octopus. But the best part of the snorkel was the dolphins. A pod of over 30 dolphins came up to us and wanted to play. It was so great to hear them underwater. We all climbed back in the zodiac to chase them. They would come and jump right infront of us when the zodiac was going fast. What playful animals!!
Here is a whole group photo back on the boat. Good ole Eden Yacht. It is mainly junior fellows, but there are awesome seniors with us too.
We landed again at Post Office Bay. This is the most amazing thing. Everyone drops off post cards without postage and the next travellerst that are going that way pick up the cards to take back with them. I picked up a card that goes to someone in Nashville. I can't wait to see their faces when I give them something that was in the Galapagos just a few weeks ago.
We also went down into a cave to check out a lava tube. Here is Beau and me. You can't see much, but neither could we.
After the lava tube, we played soccer with the crew memebers from the different boats. It was awesome!! They are really good and were suprised to see a girl actually get out and play with them.
