Puerto Ayora

When we arrived in Puerto Ayora we encountered a tour business selling passages to the Island San Cristobal that would be leaving in a couple of hours. We left our baggage with the tour vendor and explored a small amount of the surrounding town.
When it was time to board our boat we made our way down to the busy harbor, here a small sea lion was lounging in the dock area. The sea lion was very playful and chased a lady down the dock and had a staring contest with a small girl.

Arrival to San Cristobal

The boat ride to San Cristobal was two hours long; during which we saw mustard rays jumping and dolphins playing in the wake of the boat. We arrived in the sleepy fishing town and explored the area for a good place to stay for a few days. We stopped at a small place for batidos, made with powered milk and tropical fruit shipped in from Ecuador.
