"It's not rocket science James, simple
lava flows. It came from the sea!!" |
Mauricio – tour group guide or repressed drill sergeant? You decide.
Keen to regale the group with tales of leg loss (3 in a single day – steer clear of
slippery rocks, lava holes and sea lions!), and never shy of telling you if
you’re walking, swimming, looking (!) in the wrong area, soldier!!! The enthusiasm
which he exuded upon seeing the first set of flamingos fly was incredible, but
this was significantly offset by the anger on display upon being left with 13
clients and no dingy (even though it was floating out to sea with no motor…)! All this said, our unruly mob needed some authority to keep us moving and on schedule and Mauricio was a fountain of Galapagos wildlife and geology knowledge who introduced us to many of the characters you will meet this week.

"Hurry up you fools - no time for
hanging around taking pictures -
you'd think you were on holidays!" |
 |
Lava lovers on James' island - painted locust, lava lizard,
marine iguana and penguins. Penguins??? |
 |
| From lava bombs to ropes, to oysters... |

Our welcoming committee to
