Today we went to the Charles Darwin station to see turtles and iguana’s before we headed out to the boat. We left the hotel around 9 am and headed to some lava tubes first. From there we went to the Darwin station. I think I expected more. I thought we would see buildings where they were doing studies and there would be more scientists doing studies, but we did not see any “workers”. We did see a lot of turtles and some land iguanas, which was pretty cool. Before we got into the Darwin station we saw marine iguanas just hanging out.
Afterwards, we headed off to lunch where we saw our first Blue-footed Boobie. We also saw a pelican hanging out on the roof of the restaurant. And then it was off to the boat which is very nice. The rooms are a pretty good size and our guide seems pretty good.
