17th June - woke early after having a very ordinary sleep inboard. Am not uses to the motion or noise of the boat so woke up serval time. We sailed from San Cristobal Island to San Cruz island overnight. Breakfast at 8:30 and then we made a dry landing on north plaza island. This was a very small island only a couple of square kilometers and we were able to walk around outside of most of the island. Walking from the dingy up the small Pier had to shoo sea lions o...

Got my tourists transit card and then had my bags scanned for the Galapagos customs to ensure i didn't bring any foreign bugs into the islands. They were fairly relaxed about it com...

13th June 2013- up early and ready and then made my way back to the bus stop to get a colectivo taxi to the las lajas church over the bridge. Colectivo taxi are cheaper than ordinary taxi but on the down side you have to wait for the taxi to fill before it leaves...

Arrived at the ...
