Dragon Hill and Chinese Hat, Galapagos 23rd March 2007

Breakfast was at 7am and we went ashore at 8am. We were at Dragon Hill on another part of Santa Cruz island. The first little rocky area where we landed had marine iguanas, a pelican, a lava heron, a grey heron, sally lightfoot crabs, frigate birds in the air and a few seals in the water!

We did a 2km circular walk - the sun was out and it was hot. There were a flew flamingos in the salt lake. We also saw some land iguanas, mocking birds, Darwin finches and locusts. We had a quick snorkel then sailed the short distance to Chinese Hat. We saw Galapagos penguins on the rocks. We landed on a beautiful small beach and a seal and three pups came ashore to investigate us. The pups were gorgeous and posed for photos. As we walked around there were also some female seals suckling babies. There was a beautiful sunset whilst we were still on the island.
