Visited the island of Bartholome which was a stark volcanic cone and one of the youngest islands in Galapagos. We climbed to the top of the ‘volcano’ and had a great view out over the area. The island had very little vegetation, some Lava cactus’ and small shrubs.
Getting back into the Panga, Domonique stepped in some sea lion poo and accidently smeared some on Lev’s leg. Bit of a stinky ride back to the Nemo after that!

Later we got to go snorkelling again being dropped off in a nearby bay by the Panga. We were told there was a chance of seeing penguins in a little bay but instead we had a cute little sea lion come and play with us for a while. He seemed to enjoy swimming around with us and we had fun diving under the water and playing with him.



On the way to the next island we had another large pod of dolphins swim along with the boat for a while.

In the afternoon we stopped on the island of Santiago and walked to “The Grottos” which were little canyons and undercutting of the basalt rocks along the shoreline. Saw sea lions swimming and sleeping along the sides. Lots of marine iguanas and pelicans.
