So I finally graduated from LSE, and was then offered a job by this company...which doesnt start till next year. I decided to kill time, and realised travelling was my only option since London is bloody expensive. I'm leaving London on Aug 9th and aim to set foot in 5 continents along the way.

One of many birdies...

Some very wet baby sea lions

Some bored land iguanas

A gull

A blue-footed boobie!!

Being tourists...

More gulls...

Two gulls

A blowhole

Not as cool as I thought it would be, but alright

An eagle..I think!

Typical sea lion behaviour...

A bull sea lion patrolling

These guys go up and down along the beach all day, making threatening noises at anyone who they done like. I had a nasty incident with one when I was in the water...

Being chummy..or lazy

These shells look like walls

Hi Sid! A very nice picture. You're right, snorkelling was quite cool even without hammerhead sharks. Have a nice trip!
