Viva Espanola Island

After strolling along the beach watching sea lions, mocking birds and numerous species of wrens and swallows it was time to head out for a snorkel. It was VERY choppy and we had to flip or in my case flop off the dinghy into really big waves to swim around the craggy volcanic 'Isla Gardener'. Phew! The snorkelling was fantastic even though because of the waves the visability wasn't great........HUGE shoals of angel, parrot and garfish as well as stingrays and many other multicoloured specimens. All was well until we had to swim between two rocks............none of us went anywhere........ we waved to the dinghies and they came a rescuing!

Hot chocolate with cinnamon and snacks..showers, and then lunch. Siesta time while we motored to Suarez Point. Then it was time to meet the Marine lizards.

An amazing walk along sandy paths through scrubby dry bushes, lizards sunning themselves on rocks or just huddling together for warmth.
