San Cristobal Island, Galapagos

We were visiting the islands in June and there were not a lot of tourists. On this island, the cruise ships passengers were in town after breakfast and then went back to the ship for dinner. We didn't find a lot of choices on where to eat dinner here. I guess because the cruise passengers were on the ship, the restaurants didn't have a lot of customers. Another good reason to for a land based Galapagos vacation; support the local economy!

We went on a full day snorkelling boat tour to Kicker Rock which is the remains of a lava cone, split in two. We snorkelled between the two rocks and saw rays and sharks. The water was pretty rough.

On the last day, we took a walk up to the Interpretation Centre. The  buildings provide a lot of information about the history of the Galapagos.
