Galapagos hello !!! Santa Cruz Island. Within one hour we saw iguana (swimming lizard), crab, butterfly, seals, pelicans.After lunch, we take a walk and the highlight was the fishermen, seals, and pelicans.
We meet our guide and proceed on the 2 hours cruise to Floreana aka Santa Maria island.
Floreana has only 100 residents. Sadly we were met w/rain so no snorkeling, but we could see the sea turtles and birds easily from the beach. Regardless, we hiked to see a sea lion community. Discovery channel without tv. The hotel is rustic..that is probably an understatement, but we are on the beach and are drifting to sleep to the sound of the waves. The elec goes off @11 pm. and there is no hot water. I'm about to sleep but it will be hard because there is a 5" spider somewhere in this room. Tomorrow begins @6 am to see the sunrise.
