Ecuador


8th June. We travel overnight to Isla Floreanna. It's there outside our cabin window. In cricketing terms this journey had a bit of sideways movement. There is a wet landing this morning. On the journey to the island we see turtles and of course sea lions. We walk across Cormorant Point and past the lake that doesn't have flamingos. On the other side of the point there are small sting rays in the shallows and we watch a Brown Pelican and a Nazca Booby fishing. There is also a penguin wandering around. Later in the day we post a card at the island ¨post box¨. It´s about 20 degrees C and I don´t go swimming today. Despite being almost on the equator, the water is surprisingly cool and most of those who do swim are wearing wet suits.
