I have officially lost track of what day it is. I think it is a wednesday.
So, today we went by bus to visit the local school, Tomas de Berlanga. Everyone is so friendly! The kids are so cute and just come up to you to say Ola!
We then met a group of students and had a discussion about how different our lives are compared to theirs. It was really interesting to learn what they like to do etc..
We had our lunch and then took a bus ride to another tortoise reserve with some of thew local school children we met. We saw how they have tagged some of the tortoises to see how far they can travel.
When we got back to the hotel, me and Eleri decided that the weather was too nice to stay in, so we went for a swim in the pool. The water was so warm and lush!
Had a really good day today. Very tired now.
Forgot to mention, I fell over on the runway at Galapagos airport. Didn’t hurt at the time and it was really funny. Hurts now.
Oh well.. no pain no gain?
Charl.

Wish you were here and we were there!

Not a good place to study variation in mammals, reptiles however – absolutely amazing! I think the marine iguanas are finding it a bit cold here at the moment – they seem a bit sluggish – all huddling together – have a look at the flickr site (set Santa Cruz 20/10/2010) to see large groups of females reducing their total surface area to stay warm on Tortuga beach.

Hey!!!!
Glad to see you’re all having a great time there
Ouch Charlo looks nasty
The school decided without you guys to attend it’d flood again and so until today [Thursday] 6th form haven’t been allowed in
I hope you’re all well?
I’d say everyone’s okay but I’ve only seen Rach and she’s doing well.
I’ve taken a page out of your book and decided that at 17 it was a good age to fracture my elbybone :L
Oh and you’ve got a feature in the penarth times again, whilst reading it in the raining welsh weather I think of you guys and how much it sucks that i didnt take biology ;D
I hope it stays lush out there and it just keeps getting better!
Love
Alex

Hey Charlotte & Jess, looks like you are having a fantastic time, the pics are great. That knee looks rather nasty. We are well jealous. Uncle Jim says to take loads of photos to show him. Lots of love xx
