Last day of Galapagos Heaven

This morning was a morning for sleeping in. Today we woke up at about 9:30/10am and slowly made our way down to a local restaurant to have pancakes and a fresh juice for breakfast. These were absolutely delicious. After stuffing our faces we take a relaxing stroll down the main street and see if we can pick up and little souvenirs. After getting a few T-shirts, sarong, fridge magnets, charms and a hat we were felt satisfied we had successfully shopped for friends, family and of course ourselves.

With still some daylight left we take a water taxi across the port to Finch dock and walk around to Estrada Beach. A nice little beach for the people staying at the hotels on this side of the port.

We continued to walk for 20min through areas with enormous cacti and over the lava rock formations to one of the most unique swimming holes on the planet. Las Grietas, which translates literally to mean "the cracks," is a geologic formation unique to volcanic islands. This deep brackish canal forms between the steep lava rock cliffs on either side. Due to the time we did not go for a swim as we need to make sure we could get back and did not want to be walking the rough trail in the dark. (Just have mental images of me falling over).

Back across on the water taxi and to our favourite little restaurant for dinner and off to bed as tomorrow we navigate our way back to the airport to fly into Quito.
