More iguanas and beautiful landscapes

We went back to the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) to say Hi again to the giant tortoises, especialy Lonesome George, who is looking desperatly for a mate (otherwise it is the exctinction of this species). We saw the land iguanas which are as great as the marine iguanas.

Emmanuelle did a jellyfish presentation in front of some of her peers at the CDF, which was a good experience (after all these year out of practice).

Today, we left early (7:30am) to try to escape the hot sun as we had a longish walk to do. We went to discover the magnificent beach of Bahia Tortuga. The marine iguanas were crossing the beach to go for a swim, the oister catchers were racing behind them. We also saw some turtle nests, and had a swim in the lagoon behind the beach.

Still amazing views of wild life and landscapes. We are enjoying our stay in the Galapagos. We should move to our last island tomorow, Isabela (where Internet will be more difficult to find as it is mor eremote).

Hi Felix, Clea and Victor.

Wow, I wish I still lived on a sail boat so that I could see the iguanas, tortoises and seals and lots of other sea creatures in the Galapagos Islands.

I can ride a two wheeler bike now and got a new one two weeks ago.

Have fun, I miss you guys.
