Well today was probably the most demanding day thus far. It started with a long hike up to a lighthouse atop Bartholomew Island. There were some 350+ stairs and walkways traversing the mountain to the top.

After an amazing view of the surrounding islands we made our way down to the shore again. It was time for a swim. We grabbed our snorkeling gear and hit the water. I finally saw a white tip shark along with tons of other fish swimming by the volcanic island.

After lunch we went to Port Egas on James Island. There we walked for a while until we were again at the shore of volcanic rock. There we saw both regular and fur Sea Lions, crabs and Iguanas. It was a great hike around the shore on the way back.
