Watching the whales in Puerto Lopez

Back from the Galapagos I made it to Puerto Lopez late at night and checked into a very nice hostel called the Sol Inn.
The next morning it was up early to hop in a small boat and check for some whales. They were definitely there but they weren't doing the whole jumping out of the water thing. Instead they just lurked and came up for a squizz and a purge of the blow hole every so often.
But here's a picture of what it should like, you'd swear they were trained to do it at sunset. But despite the lack of playful whales we motored on out to the Isla de la Plata which is like a mini Galapagos, replete with boobies and other marine life.

And that brought Ecuador to a very pleasant close, all pictures here
