| Golden rays, sunshine and autumnal leaves. A perfect combination! |
 |
Landing by turtle tracks on the beach, we soon
found their larger rellies, the giant tortoises |
 |
Not too subtley hinted at earlier, the colourful land
iguanas - camouflaged in leaves, not so much on lava! |

Beach time on Isabella, the scene of our last snorkel : ( - Mauricio - "you guys don't want to live". Us - "what do you
mean?". Mauricio - "you were nearly hammered into the rock in the huge swell over there". The warning before
the snorkel started might have been nice... It was the most noteworthy part of the snorkel, that said. |

Hard to believe, but this was 3 separate groups/shoals.
They loved this mangrove inlet! |
Ray(mond?) – Winged underwater beauty or musician? You
decide. These dudes got around – a faraway glimpse of a group of eagle rays in
the distance on our dive, they seemed to show up on every other snorkelling
experience, sometimes getting so close to the beach you were worried about
stepping on them! From marbled, to sting, to mobulas, to eagle, and to top it
all off, golden. Seeing the picture the night before in our briefing, we didn’t
believe there would be hundreds of juveniles swimming in the shallows off Isabella
island. Very glad to have been proven wrong. C-Ray-zy!
