Floreana is in the southern part of the archipelago and
is one of the older islands. So it has no live volcanoes and is quite green with
a mixture of shrubs and trees depending on the height. It's highest point is
about 2000ft. It is one of the 5 inhabited islands, but only has a population of
120.
 We hiked up to the centre (with the help of a
lorry for the first few miles!)
 It was a very cloudy day and the cloud on the
hills came down to sea level - it rained!
 The only restaurant/bar on the
island.
  The island's water supply - it filters down
through the rocks and is supposed to be very pure. We had
a
glass yesterday and, so far, fingers
crossed, it hasn't had any adverse
effect!
 The church - the best building on the
island.
 The main highway - the only road on the
island.
