We were picked up from the hotel in Quito at 5:00 in the morning, wandered our way to the airport for our flight to Baltra! We were collected their whisked away to our ocean home, the Fragata, for lunch and then off to Mosquera Island!
This micro spit of land is a spectacular white sand beach, speckled with black, volcanic rocks and populated by millions of Sally Lightfoot crabs and the world's friendliest sea lions! We are assiduous about maintaining a respectful distance between ourselves and wildlife but the wildlife in the Galapagos has apparently not read the guidelines and they will chase you down. Check out the slideshow for a complete list of our sightings.
Have a photo/video plan. Start with a list of essential images that you need to tell your story. Obviously this does not preclude capturing those serendipitous moments, but it might prevent pulling an all-nighter as you attempt to sort 50 million pictures!
Be disciplined - yes, every rock IS special and unique, but try to keep yourself from missing the actual experience as you strive to capture the absolute essence of each rock.
