Royal Palm

Once we got to Galapagos and our hotel, the Royal Palm, we had lunch.  The food is definitely better in Peru than Ecuador.  We also miss our guide in Peru.  After 10 minutes at lunch, our new guide was in to politics and elections.  In 4 days with Katerina we never spent so much time discussing politics. In reflecting, Equador is a very different country and so are politics.

After lunch, we headed out to see some turtles.  Nothing very interesting just walking through mud to get to see two large turtles.  Our focus was getting back to the hotel so we could swim.  When we arrived in Galapagos, it was around 88 degrees.  At 5 pm for our swim, I would guess it was around 75 degrees and cloudy an it was nice to take a dip in the pool.  Had fish again for dinner.  It was a little better than lunch, but still no comparison to Peru.
