After arriving in the Galapagos islands, we took a 10 minute bus ride, took a 10 minute ferry ride, and then finally took a 45 minute bus ride (see picture) to Santa Cruz (one of the Galapagos Islands). There we arrived at our hotel - Hotel Silberstein. The hotel is quaint yet beautiful in its own right.
Our first adventure took us to the Charles Darwin Research Center, a short walk down the street from our hotel. There we were able to explore some unreal sights, including turtles (big and small) and of course Lonesome George - the last turtle of his species in the world. Iguanas were plentiful within the research center as well as beautiful birds.
We came back from the research center, got cleaned up and walked a short distance to dinner. After dinner we shopped a little and then called it a night. We are off to Floreana early tommorrow to see another island the of the Galapagos. Good night for now...........
