On Isla Isabela.

The sea lion is the owner of the bench and stays there!

Isabela is a lovely island and there are a lot to see and do.
We have walked along a wetland path to a tortoise centre and on the way seen ducks, muirhens, herons, Black necked stilts and last not least groups of flamingos.

 The flamingos are just so beautiful,  and very interesting to watch as they do a wee dance while the head is under water to catch little fish which have been stirred up by the dance.

We have cycled to "The Wall of many tears". This huge stone wall was built by prisoners/ convicts between 1945-1956 when the island was used as a prison. The prisoners had such a hard time .......shed many tears. Many died here.

On the cycle trip to Wall of Tears we met this tortoise.

Lave tunnels.

We have been on a boat trip to some interesting lava tunnels where e saw nesting boobies and young fledglings and here we snorkled with giant turtles, saw seahorses and white - tipped sharks.
Today we have hired a taxi with our friends from S/y Karma and went to a vegetable and fruit- farm in the rainforest. We bought bananas, papyas,  pineapples,  limes, oranges, broccoli,  cabbage, carrots and tomatoes.It was a really nice experience to be there.
