Day 9 - Travel to Isabela Island and Campo Duro





 Today was a big travel day. We were able to sleep in and explore Puerto Ayora for the last time, since our boat, the New Ocean, did not leave until after lunch.  The New Ocean was a nice boat, however, I don't think it was built to hold twenty seven people. We were all squished together. The ride was also very rough, as the waves dumped water on Spencer and the other people at the back of the boat. 
    
We then arrived to Isabella Islands and met our tour guides there, Jessica and Lauren. We then went directly to where we were staying for the night Campo Duro. Campo Duro was our one opportunity to camp in the Galapagos. It was really cool being able to camp, but it wasn't fun to be woken up at four thirty by the roosters. That night, we ate chicken, rice, and potatoes there for dinner. Since we got there so late, we decided to go to bed early.
