Punts Pitt and Cerro Brujo San Cristobal

We spent our last day in the Galapogos on the most easternmost island of the archipelago.  We started the morning with a zodiac ride along the shores to view all three spicies of boobies nesting together.. This was our introduction to the red footed boobie.  As sea lions playfully swam under our boats we travelled the shorelines entertained by the scenery and the nesting wild life.  We then made a dramatic wet landing on a beautiful sandy beach which we shared with numerous sea lions.  Snorkeling from the beach was th best we had had for days so that was a treat.
After lunch we  landed on Cerro Brujo where we hiked along a gorgeous beach with everything from white sand to black lava rock, pounding surf, birds and sea lions a plenty and stunning scenery.  What a wonderful place for our last shore excursion.
Back on board we sailed around Kicker Rock at sunset with a glass of champagne in hand sharing some wonderful memories of the past week.  After dinner we spent a long time on deck watching the sea lions at play around the ship as well as chasing the flying fish.  We were also treated to a lesson on the constellations by one of the officers who had a laser pointer that lit each star perfectly. What a perfect finish to a memorable trip.

Satiated cliffs

Curious sea lion

Here I come

Last shore visit

No fear

One last iguana

Lava and surf

Not my type of swimming

Great memories


And the sun sets
