Darwin Station and Santa Cruz

Today, we visited the Darwin station after flying to the Galapagos this morning. It was another 5 am morning to catch the plane, but I have a feeling that the cruise is going to allow for a lot of time to relax and to sleep.

We flew into Baltra island, which is pretty much just the airport. As soon as you get here, you realize that the Galapagos are a drastic change of any wildlife that I have ever seen before. The creatures here aren´t afraid of humans and the many lizards let you walk right up to them.

The best thing about today was seeing the largest tortoises I have ever seen before. We got some great pictures that I´ll post when I get the chance.
