Early up and off the boat as we head to the turtle reserve to see these magnificent animals in a more natural habitat. They were way cool, and although most were in the lowland area laying eggs we were able to see them in a more natural space than the Darwin Center the first day. They were shy for sure. So impressive to learn all about them and realize this is the only area in the world they live. A few of our group tried on the shell- they understood why they move slowly (that's Aussie Stuart below)
Off to the airport for our return to Quito and a little souvenir shopping, Ecuadorian soup and ceviche for dinner and early to bed for a 4:30 AM wake-up to catch an early flight home. If will be nice to return to California, but it was an amazing experience being in this unique place.
