Ship's Log:
Our last two days have been surreal. From totoises to iguanas and finches, white tipped and hammerhead sharks, pengiuns and sea lions, fishes of all shapes and sizes, sea turtles and more, trainees have been going from 0500hrs to 2400hrs maximizing every minute.
Tonight we enjoyed a truly memorable meal with our old friend Furio Valbonesi. Furio has just completed a new home and he invited us all over to a fine barbecue of steak and fresh fish. Done in true Italian style and taste, our meal was spectacular as was our predinner swim in Furioīs new pool which over looks the islands. Furio is a very generous man and has helped us in many ways during our stay. For a taste of his style and ability go on line and look up Milenium Resorts and check out the Palm hotel in Galapagos on Santa Cruz. Furio designed this complete complex and managed the building process. It is like nothing we have ever seen.
All are very tired and full and at present are staking out thier territory on deck for an idyllic sleep under the stars. Good night.
