Day 42 Tuesday, April 16th back to Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos!


The sandy streets of Isla Isabella don’t compensate for the fact that it is very sleepy with nothing going on. We walk to the tortoise reserve and that’s fine but not terribly inspiring. We decide to leave and get back to Santa Cruz island and so catch the 3.00pm boat for the two hour journey back.
Later that day we are told of a day boat full of tourists that went to the lava tunnels area to snorkel. A rouge wave came in and took the boat to its crest and then dropped it into the following trough. One broken arm and several people with severe muscle and ligament pulls. No MRIs on the islands and so several unhappy tourists were waiting to get off the Galapagos and back to good medical care.
We arrive back at Isabel’s and she’s happy to see us and gives us some Guanabana juice, it’s very good.
