Galapagos, Day 3

We travelled further around Isabela to Moreno Point . Here we did a walk across old lava flows to a pool where there were two flamingos. We walked past brackish pools with huge mullet and a monstrous toad fish!




We then snorkelled amongst sea turtles, and I saw a marine iguana feeding. The sea wasn't very clear, so with my limited vision, it wasn't as enjoyable as previous times. At lunchtime we travelled around to Elizabeth Bay and had another snorkelling opportunity. The sea was much clearer this time and there were many sea turtles, fish, sting rays.







 Afterwards, we took a panga ride into the mangroves and observed turtles, flightless cormorants and sea lions. Unfortuntely, we were in the panga with some of the Ugly Americans who insisted on wafting their ipads in front of everyone and semiingly deliberately blocking others' views of wildlife.
I hate ipads, especially when they're held up in front of everyone and used as cameras.
 
We spotted whale spout and dolphins.
