We
catch the 2.00pm boat to Isla Isabella today. $30 each one-way. Just like the
day-trip to Isla Floreana, the boat takes about 20 people and we are all jammed
into the cockpit and unhappy as the boat, with its three 200HP outboard engines
crashes noisily through the ocean swells at 50knots for the two hour journey.
We are constantly braced for the smack into the next trough and I’m hoping that
the hull holds out but I don’t mention that to Christine.
We
arrive safely enough and then go wandering down the sandy streets looking for
somewhere to stay. Someone has mentioned the Casa Rosata (The Pink House) and
we find it but it’s full so we find a great sea-view room in the Hotel Volcano
opposite ($50/night) and just use the Casa Rosata for Happy Hour drinks at
sunset. This whole island is a sleepy place and we just watch the Iguanas and
enjoy the beach in front of our hotel. Mediocre dinner of fried fish at Caesars.
