Galapagos Islands - April, 2024

            As was becoming our routine, we were both up early, got coffee at 6:00AM, then made our way to breakfast, followed by check-in for our morning excursion.  Today we had chosen Option 1, the long walk and short tender ride.  The entire walk was on lava rock with very uneven terrain.  We saw at least two people fall and need first-aid (lava rock is sharp!)

White Tipped Reef Sharks:

             The long walk and the tender ride ended being over 3 hours long in the hot sun.  Once back on-board, we showered and changed out of our sweaty clothes, then went for lunch.

              We were originally signed up for the 3:30PM short walk and swim at Urbina Bay, but we were still exhausted from the morning activity, so chose to skip this excursion in favor of an extended nap.

              We went back downstairs for the 7:00PM briefing, then had dinner in the restaurant again with our new crew.  We were in bed by 9:00PM and we tried to watch one of the free documentaries on the Galapagos Islands, but didn't make it 15 minutes before we passed out!

Final step count for Day 6:
