Galapagos - Day 6 (May 2)
I needed to be less freaked out by the idea of dunking myhead!
We got to watch the Ghost crabs pop in and out of the dirt while everyone else was away. Very cute little guys!
In the water we saw mostly fishes!
The afternoon was our first slightly strenuous hike! 358 steps to the top of the Crator!
We had fun lifting the very light rocks and pretending to be strong! From the top we could see the partially submerged craters.
After our hike it was time to snorkel again! We headed out and around the pinnacle. We saw star fish, giant fish, sea cucumbers, and large large schools of fish! On our way back toward the beach I saw it, a white tipped shark! I immediately popped up to find hubby and started flailing about! Hubby got over eventually but it was already gone! Sigh. The hubby of the couple we were on vacation with also saw the shark. Seems only 1 of each couple, and the ones that were most scared of the sharks got to see them, figures!
After our return we took a time in the hot tub to warm up! We met up with part of a family with 2 little kids that were going to be traveling for 6 months! They were some wonderfully behaved children and polite! The funny thing about the hot tub is that is was on a timer. But the timer was about 2 minutes long. Very annoying when tempting to relax!
That night we have a big celebration! It was our equator crossing party! Right around 10pm as we crossed the line that goes round the globe! The staff put on a cute little play where they selected a queen for King Neptune, and then her slaves! The slaves were forced to perform as different animals - fly like an albatross, dance like a boobie, do push ups like a lizard, bark like a sea lion and they all had to kiss a big old fish! It was very fun party and the staff did a great job!
