A Hike and Swim on Santa Cruz Island



Today I went to Las Grietas for a swim.  I walked through a cactus forest on my way.  The cactus forest is a great place to spot lava lizards and the famous Darwin finch.  The local swimming hole sits between to volcanic cliffs.  The water comes from a river on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other.



Later in the day I took a boat to Floreana Island.  This island is famous for some of it's first inhabitants.  John Treherne wrote a book called The Galapagos Affair that tells the story of these German transplants on this remote island.
