For the final days of our Ecuador Adventure, Meghan and I headed over to the Galapagos. Had such an amazing time. Upon arrival to Balta island we took a quick ferry ride over to Santa Cruz Island where our hotel was at
The Hotel was beautiful. We saw Heron, Iguanas, Finchs all just at our hotel.
Our first tour was an excursion over to Bartolome Island. We had a couple hour boat ride over to the island. I loved sitting outside taking in the ocean air
Bartolome is known more for its geology than its animals. The landscape was very interesting
In the afternoon we did some snorkeling. Even had a penguin swim right by me!
Day 2 was a nice relaxing half day spent at Garrapaterro beach, followed up by a lunch of ceviche. Yum!
We had the afternoon free so did some exploring by our hotel. Reminded me a lot of Southern AZ
Our last day was an excursion over to North Seymour Island, followed up by snorkeling. At the end of the day Meghan and I went and saw the Galapagos Tortoises. We missed Lonesome George by only a few weeks : (
Rough life! Riding in style

A frigate male all spiffy for the ladies
Our guides said we were very lucky to see flamingos. Here is one of several that we saw.
What an amazing opportunity to see all of these animals in their natural habitat. I was amazed at how fearless they are.
