San Cristóbal

---

San Cristobál is another pleasant island in the archipelago. Baquerizo Moreno, its main town, is relaxed and sleepy and there are a number of options for trips on and around the island. As I had only two days here I went only for the walk to Las Tijeretas, a beautiful little bay with good snorkelling and to the hill above, and then inland to the El Junco lagoon. This is the only freshwater lagoon on all of Galapagos!

I was very reluctant to go to the airport to catch my flight back to Quito, as Galapagos is such a lovely place, and as I was hoping for some miracle to happen that would allow me to stay longer. And the miracle happened: for technical reasons the plane could not start. However, they did not tell us for quite a while so everybody was stuck at the airport. Only after a few hours they let us go back to the village. They finally sent a new plane from Guayaquil and so we left in the evening instead of at midday.
