We are finally finished with the Galapagos boat cruise. I am sort of glad to be off the boat because I get to have my land legs back and things aren't moving around so much. I can't imagine how people stay on small boats for months at a time. A week was pretty good for me.
The last three days of the trip were a bit redundant. When I was looking at the tours, I thought that I really wanted to see Floreanna and Espanola islands, which we hit in the last couple days of the tour. But in retrospect, I think that the first few islands north of Santa Cruz has a lot more to offer in terms of wildlife and excitement. Plus, we were away from the main ports for more days at a time.
The last few days did give us a chance to see the Galapagos Waved Albatross, which is the smallest of the albatross birds in the world. They looked pretty magnificent, if not a bit clumsy on the ground.
Another neat place to be was a blow hole where the waves come crashing in and are redirected high in the air like a geyser. It was a serene place.
