The fourth day in the Galapagos begins with an actual sunrise. Usually during this season it is too cloudy to see any sunrise. Since we were going to start the tour earlier than usual, I woke up a few minutes before sunrise just in case there would be something to see. Well, kinda.
The first stop was to view Sombrero Chino, named for its shape of a Chinese hat. There really isn´t anything to see on the island, though.
On land, we were treated to more lazy sea lions, pelicans, hawks, iguanas and sally lightfoot crabs.

| never mind the crab |

| I wondered why the water in my photos were not as blue as what I was seeing, then I realized that it was because of the sunglasses that I was wearing... This photo was taken with my shades in front of the lens |

After walking around the island, we put on our wetsuits and went snorkling along the reef...
After lunch, we took one of the lamest parts of the whole tour -a walk around the western side of Santa Cruz where we saw one turtle hiding in the shade and lotsa trees.
And to finish the day with more snorkling along Whale Bay (no whale sightings here)
sunset!
