Santa Cruz Island, where
the airport is, has many beautiful
places to visit like the Darwin Research Center, but the town is full
of expensive art gallaries and Italian restaurants. See the picures
of the tortoises at the research center. I liked how the pelicans
and sea lions hang out downtown to get handouts from the fishermen.
We took the boat from Santa Cruz Island to Isabela Island. It was a
rough crossing. There were 20 of us stuffed into a motor boat wearing
life jackets as the boat slammed against the waves for two hours.
Thank God for Dramamine.
Isabela
ismuch more my style than Santa Cruz.Isabela caters to the backpack
travellers like us. Sea lions lounge on benches overlooking the sea
and travellers have campfires on the beach at night. Two volcanos
loom over the town.
