Floreana Island
Six in the morning, wake-up call. And at six thirty we head off on an early expedition to visit one of the oldest methods of communication. The Floreana Post Office barrel was set up by whalers at the very beginning of the seventeenth century. It was a lovely morning at Post office Bay with a beautiful blue sky. But even this early and it’s already over 80 F. Some of our guests picked up post cards and are taking them back to their own country to hand deliver them. This is a good way to meet other people who have been to Galápagos!
After breakfast, and now with a water temperature of 80 F, we are ready for some underwater exploration. Today’s site is Champion Islet which is a choice place for both scuba diving and snorkeling.
For most world travelers a visit to the Galápagos is a dream come true. Many of the people who come here aren’t aware of how special the underwater world is around these islands. It is unlike any other spot on earth. Who could imagine that, in one hour, you can see more than sixty species of fish, come face to face with six-foot sharks, watch playful sea lions and find the majestic global wanderers, the mobula manta rays (see today’s photo).
Today we have experienced the fantastic aquatic world of the Galápagos Islands.
