The Poor Man's Galapagos - Islas Balletas, Paracas, Peru - June 2011

We took a half day trip to the beautiful 'Poor Man's Galapagos' en route to our next destination on a night bus. Joe, Julia and Anna came too and had fun on their desert camping trip. We then continued our journey north on the ever so delightful 'Cruz del Sur' bus, the cream of the bus companies. As they say, you get what you pay for.

The cute penguins.

The even cuter baby seal. Or as they call them here, 'sea wolf'.

The dark shadow on the rock is thousands of birds.

Passing the time in Paracas whilst waiting for our bus to Lima and then onto Huanchaco.
