Santa Cruz and Bartolome Islands.

View Bachas Beach in a larger map

Morning: Walk at Bachas Beach. The name comes from the way the locals used to pronounce barges, or an area where barges were shipwrecked. Barges = Las Bachas. Santa Cruz is one of the inhabited islands, although not this area.

Terrain: Beach walk, flat. Walk was mostly along coast, but also went inland a bit to look for flamingos.

Guide: Fred

Sightings: Pelicans, Sea lions, Herons, crabs, marine iguanas, NO flamingos.

Snorkel afterward from the beach.

Sightings: None on volcano, but on the shore there were sea lions, sea birds and our second and final chance to see a colony of Galapagos penguins.

Tonight we head out to the airport for our trip to THE GALAPAGOS!  We are so excited for the opportunity to go, and it should be an amazing trip. We’re staying near the airport tonight for a very very early flight tomorrow. Then we fly through Atlanta and on to Quito for this trip. Here’s the Celebrity marketing video for this trip. A close second to this trip is seeing the BBC Galapagos documentary DVD. If you like wildlife, rent it! See you all when we get back with our thousands of pictures.
