Our flight from Quito in Ecuador was effortless. A 45 minute flight then a quick stop followed by a further 90 minutes. I think having the window exit seat helped with enjoying the flight.
Our boat is called G4 and its pretty nice. Lots of space to either sit in the sun or chill inside. I'm sharing a cabin with a nice girl from Australia. And luckily there's no bunk beds so I didn't have to fight her for the bottom bunk.
The weather is a bit cooler than Central America. I was lucky with how hot it was in Belize so it is a bit of a change.
The sea however is absolutely freezing! Thankfully they have wetsuits for hire and this helped, especially when you pee it in...
Our first snorkelling trip was incredible! Sea lions were swimming around and once we'd been in the water for a while, a cub decided it was play time.
He would go to the bottom on the floor, make a squeaking sounds, rub his nose on the floor then swim back up to the surface.
The little cub came literally an inch from my face. It was amazing but I was a little nervous so gave a little squeal myself.
We also saw so many turtles, sting rays and lots of different fish. I loved swimming with the turtles. It's something I've always wanted to do and now I have.
I have three weeks left of my travelling now. I keep getting mixed feelings. Part of me can not wait to be home. I miss my family, friends, boyfriend and most importantly doggy so much. But then I am having such an amazing time meeting new people, being completely relaxed and trying new amazing things that I don't want it to end.
I honestly can't see this being my last travel experience. I know I can't go for that long again but I can see me doing a few weeks here and there. I just hope I'll have company next time...
