Boobies on show!

Today was our last complete day on Galapagos, we visited North Seymour Island today which is the largest bird colony in the group of islands.

We were able to just quietly walk through the rocks and these beautiful creatures just carried on with their business as if we weren't even there.

Later today we managed a final snorkelling trip where sharks, a ray and many fish were spied.

After that it was back for showers and tea - the biggest tea for some of the entire trip; Jess and Cath destroyed the following in about 30 minutes flat:

1 quarter pounder hamburger (each)
1 plate of sausage and mash (mash appears to mean chips)
1 pizza between two

If you hear an explosion in the night, you will know what has happened.

Tomorrow we are off for a quick hike then on to the airport 8-(

Most trips end with some sort of discussion about what people would most like to eat when they return home, If you are a keen parent, perhaps you can indulge your teenager the following:

Ross - Chinese takeaway
Matt - sausage and mash with gravy
Joe & Rosie - whatever is on the table
Tilly - um.. McDonalds
Rhiannon - um.. Apple crumble and cold custard
Catherine - Lasagne
Jess - Beans on toast
Nat - tuna steaks (posh!)
Charlotte - Profiteroles
Pip - Cheese and onion pasty (she is cooking )
Milly - Indian!
Becky - Indian
Louise - Lasagne and pudding
James - Steak and Stilton pie

(not sure you will be so sure when you see their washing pile!!)
