(Lyra writes) Today we got up early and went off to the fish market. The small boats unloaded their catches directly onto the beach, where the Frigate birds competed with the buyers.....
...and the pelicans...
There were loads of different kinds of fish... which they filleted on tables on the beach.
That's a big one...
There were lots of stalls on the sand where the fishermen could buy their breakfast...
Hammerhead sharks are protected in Ecuador, but a loophole in the law allows fishermen to land those caught by accident. Unfortunately we saw these....
We also visited the fruit and veg market and swam in the sea opposite the hostel...
It was very hot today. We are all fed up of the sunscreen and insect repellent cocktail, and the itchy bites!
