Nov 28, 2007 - mountainbiking in the galapagos

Gisteren dus gaan mountainbiken op Isla Santa Cruz. Nadien teruggekeerd naar Puerto Ayora en de lokale vismijn bezocht waar er juist een visser met een deel langostines en nog wat anders aangekomen was. ... De vangst werd geteld en er werd gemeten of alle langostines groot genoeg waren door iemand van het nationaal park en daarna werden de levende langostines koelbloedig van hun staart ontdaan en kon je de kop en poten daarna nog wat zien verder bewegen.Gisteren dus gaan mountainbiken op Isla Santa Cruz.
