We started today by travelling to a small island and visiting a lava cave – it was really dark, so we all had to bring torches, lower ourselves down using ropes to steady us and wade through freezing water. Fun! After that we snorkeled off a beach for a while but the visibility wasn’t very good.
Later in the morning we sailed to the Devil’s Crown, a circle of volcanic rocks jutting out of the sea, and again we snorkeled. This time it was much better - as soon as we got into the water we were surrounded by a huge school of fish – all about a foot long, literally thousands of them!
After swimming on a little longer a sea lion swam up to us and started playing. Luckily we had our under-water camera with us this time, so I managed to get a good shot of the Sea Lion and Matt checking each other out! It swam around us for ages, having a whale of a time (excuse the pun!)
In the afternoon we sailed to another island, and visited a colony of flamingoes on a lagoon, and saw dozens of turtles swimming off the beach. We love the Galapagos Islands!
