Instead of going to what would have been my fourth tortoise center, I decided to hang back at the hotel, relax the broken toe, and drink a few beers with the sea lions. They were like, “oh hey, you’re back? Cool. Do you mind if we eat a snake and then maybe nurse our babies? That’s cool? OK great. You’re fun.” You do you, gross marine mammal monster things, you do you.
Of our three Galapagos resorts, Aventura is probably the most complete, and this was certainly our best room. It’s not far from Puerto Ayora’s main street, and lots of things were walkable. No beach, but sometimes it’s nice to be on the marina. As you can see we had plenty of marine visitors. I cannot oversell how frequently we would be tripping over sea lions and marine iguanas.
