Day 2: Islas Plazas & Isla Santa Fe

Day 2: We headed to Islas Plazas and Isla Santa Fe. The second day was far more interesting than the first.

Trying to test fate - thank god my sandals have grippy soles

For the entire trip this guy, Rob, was on a mission to capture a ¨home run" photo. At first, considering the amount of equipment he´d brought I thought he was a professional photographer. After finding out it was just a hobby, I laid into him for carrying all that crap. In the end I checked out some of his photos on Flickr, and can only say he´s the greatest hobbyist photographer I´ve ever seen. If you have just a second check out his pics they will seriously blow you away: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rkroenert/ - the ones of the Golden Gate Bridge are unreal.

My favorite part of the trip was snorkeling - the sealions are especially playful underwater. If your heading to the Galapagos, I strongly recommend purchasing an underwater camera case - I had a blast with mine.
