For the last island we sailed to Santa Cruz last night. Here we visited the Darwin Research center and its turtle and land iguana-breeding center.

This afternoon we drove across the island to see Giant turtles in the wild. There was a stop on the way to see a huge lava tunnel.

For our last evening we went into town to a street crowded with tables and open-air restaurants. Here we had a huge table reserved for us. We had a choice of either Langouste or grilled fish for dinner. Daniel and Joao went to the supermercado for a bottle of vino tinto.
