Puerto Egas Boat Ride

In the afternoon we went for a boat ride around Puerto Egas.

This cactus looked funny growing straight out of the lava.

This galapagos tomato looked even funnier.

This is the first Nazca Booby we saw. He was making a lot of noise.

The rocks were very colourful.

This rock is supposed to look like an elephant. A bird poop covered elephant.

This rock is supposed to look like a monk drinking beer.

Here is a closeup.

Kerri actually thought there was a clearer face on the back.

This is a very large cactus.

On the way out we passed some pretty volcanic craters.

And a swarm of birds.

It was pretty cool.

That night was the only clear night we had for star watching. It was only really good for the half hour between sunset and moonrise.

A few swallow-tailed gulls followed the boat after the sunset, making an awful racket. They are nocturnal and hunt for squid at night. There was a lot of screeching and weird clicking sounds.
