The last day. Today we're flying back to Quito. Land of altitude sickness for me. But first we've got a ride in a dingy through the mangroves of Black Turtle Cove near Baltra.

This shallow water area is a safe place for a lot of young creatures. We saw a school of golden cow rays - must have been 30 - 40 of them. White tipped reef sharks, eagle rays.

Of course it's a good place for fishing birds too and there were a number of pelicans and cranes.
