Well the grand final will be over by now – not sure when I will be able to find out the results; hopefully tomorrow when we have free time in St Christobel and we can find an internet café.
This morning it was a 6am wake up call to climb 300 odd stairs to a point where you had gorgeous views. I got there cursing all the way but I got there! We had landed at a small purposely built place only to be greeted by a couple of seal lions. When we clambered back into the dinghy after the hike the one remaining one followed us for a while.
We motored around Pinnacle rock and we had about 3 or 4 baby sea lions playing around us. There were more little penguins but we think one got eaten by a pelican – it’s all nature! The guide grabbed a couple of the crabs off the rocks for us to have a closer look at it – 2 penises!
This morning, while waiting to go on the dinghy we were on the deck and saw a turtle, manta rays and these huge fish that was jumping in and out of the water. The birds were trying to catch them but were not successful and it was so funny to watch.
We had it confirmed that we so change boats to the Coral 1 but so do the guides so we may not have to do 2 separate lots of tips.





















This afternoon was a dinghy ride to Black Turtle Cove which was an area o mangrove swamps. It was a fantastic journey as we saw sharks and rays (golden ones), and lots of turtles.



















Tonight the water got a bit choppy but we were treated to a last night cocktail and got introduced to the captain and all the crew were in their dress whites – back to packing up and sorting out tips for tomorrow.
