Cruise is actually pretty good, even with the gerries swarming the place. Most of them have good stories to tell. The couple we sit with for dinner seem to be Belgian billionaires. They complain about everything; in a Grandpa Simpson type way. He looks like an older Thomas Keneally. His wife, a very small lady, was continually giving Jenny death stares at the airport before we boarded (or so says Jenny - it's impossible to work out when she just says things to get attention). There were sea lions on the beach today with their cubs - crazy how close you can get to them and they don't care. Saw lots of Blue Footed Boobies, Cormorants marine iguanas. Also, a shark swam right underneath me when I was snorkelling. Scares the bejesus out of me but apparently they're friendly.

Seen today: sea lions on beach, Blue Footed Boobies, Cormorants and marine iguanas from panga

Swam with: a white tipped shark; loads of fish
