Santa Cruz, Galapogas Islands, Ecuador

Our flight from Quito made a stopover and we waited onboard the plane until it took off again. We landed at Santa Cruz airport and took a boat and bus to our accomodation. Santa Cruz island is the busiest and most commercial of all the islands. There are plenty of sea lions and aquatic iguanas along the shoreline. In the afternoon, we visited the Charles Darwin centre, which is home to the different species of Galapagos tortoises.
