SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!!
Sea lions everywhere. And I mean everywhere. In all shapes and sizes. Amazing how they don't react at all to the intruding humans.I think I overdid it on their pics... but Kind Waru will spare you readers.
Their feet:
I absolutely LOVED spending time on this white sandy beach, watching them! Not that they did anything noteworthy. Mostly sun bathe and sleep. What a great life : )As you can see, I tried to experience their lifestyle for a bit.
Oh, and almost every day, we had a chance to do some snorkeling. Some off boat, others from the shore. Although the islands lie right on the equator, the water is COLD. I had to rent a full wetsuit. And since I am deathly scared of swimming in the ocean (not very competent in my swimming abilities to being with), I had one of the crew to hold on to (literally) each time.
I mention this snorkeling only because I want to say that I swam with some sea lions too!!! Fun, fun, fun.
Other than the sea lions, though, nothing spectacular. Schools of yummy fish, yes, but because the area lacks coral reefs and warm, calm water, no pretty tropical fish sightings.
We didn't get to the fur seals until one of the latter islands on the cruise. And not as numerous and as up close either.
I guess their habitat is a little more restricted.

It's so hard to tell the sea lions vs. seals....
