I have arrived! There are indeed a lot of birds. There are roughly one million albatross on the island. Incredible. All in all the flight was uneventful. As I said earlier, on the plane with me were two fellow co-workers, two pilots, and a whole lot of produce on the way to the island. Yesterday , was indeed my first day on the island and as a whole it was exhausting. It definitely didn't help that I was fighting some jet-lag. I'm still not 100 percent recovered, but I am adapting. In fact I was so off schedule, I missed dinner yesterday. Which, as people well know, is a rarity in my book. Anyways, I will let pictures do the rest for the day. Later I shall try to recap stories from the week. Suffice it to say, day two has been much better.
Day Zero:
Day One:
Laysan albatross at sunrise.
