Cabo Cowan, Ecuador - Polarsteps

After having been fattened up for the last few days, our guide decided that we had to do some exercise. Back into the kayaks! 🛶 We kayaked past beautiful rock formations and loads of birds and guano (stinky!). After Liselot cleverly got back in the panga, the military drill began😩. Our guide Juan decided that he wanted to check out the cliffs on the other side of the bay. As the panga sped away, Frank and the others had to follow in the kayak. Only to, when they arrived, see the panga speed away to another rock a few hundred meters away... Sigh😩... After doing this funny trick a few times, Juan decided that it was time to head back to the boat. So he kindly asked if we could kayak back there, another half a km or so. Frank was happy to cool down snorkelling afterwards. We almost got assaulted by a booby though, who showed it's spectacular diving skills right next to us! (Unfortunately it seems that Liselot deleted the video 😢😢). [But look at the grumpy fish🐠 from finding Nemo that Liselot spotted in the water, not the best quality though 😔] In the afternoon we had our final snorkelling experience. And it was great! We saw sharks, a stingray and huge shoals of fish! Our final hike was up on Bartholomew Island, with beautiful lunar and martian landscapes. We are going to miss this!
