We spent a second day on Santa Cruz Island, the second largest island of the Galápagos Archipelago. This morning everything looked different from yesterday, the town of Puerto Ayora was at the other side of the island; the northern part of Santa Cruz was still green, this was the end of the rainy season. An early hike was offered at Cerro Dragon, where we observed common stilts, greater flamingos, marine iguanas, Galápagos flycatchers, yellow warblers, Darwin finches and Galápagos land iguanas. As an option, a Zodiac cruise was available, a delight for photographers who were able to capture blue-footed boobies resting on the lava rocks together with brown pelicans and plenty of colorful Sally Lightfoot crabs. The afternoon was spent at Eden Islet, another great place for a Zodiac cruise and a great kayaking opportunity. Every time we go out, there is something new to see and that is what I love about these excursions; wildlife is so unique and friendly here, and if you take your time you will see a whole lot and the animals will come to see you. This is what makes Galápagos magic!
