OUR SHIP, THE M/V GALAPAGOS LEGEND


Riding to shore via the "panga".


Landing on shore consisted of trying to balance in a rocking boat while stepping onto slippery rocks.

Buffet lunch on the ship:


Chris, one of 6 naturalist guides for the Elderhostel tourists.


Ben Haase, a Dutchman transplanted to Ecuador, increased our learning with evening lectures on birds, dolphins and whales.
