Santa Cruz Galapagos 25th March 2007

Breakfast was earlier today at 6.30am. By 7.15am we were on Bachas beach. It was another fantastic white sand beach; the turtles love this one and there were lots of tracks where they had been up to lay their eggs during the night. We had a swim in the turquoise waters then had to go to Baltra as half our group had to go to the airport. We spent most of the day lazing around on deck, and eventually we had five new passengers. It wasn´t as good a group as before, as the newcomers were all French and German. One group was delayed as the aeroplane came in to land at Baltra but due to low cloud acsended again, flying all the way back to Guayaquil then back again!

In the evening we had a dinghy ride at Black Turtle Cove where the green turtles go to rest after laying there eggs, safe from killer whales. We saw some turtles and small sharks in the murky mangrove waters.
