 Plenty of moss on the trees beside the road on the
way to the National Park.
 Long climb up to El Junco Lagoon.
 El Junco lagoon is the only fresh water lagoon in
all of the Galapagos islands. It is inside an inactive volcano crater. There was
a lot of cloud blowing across the top.
 Breeding Centre for the giant
tortoises.
 Babies are kept in pens, protected from predators,
until they are five years old.
 This aggressive baby #12 liked to nip the soft
parts of its friends. Here, it takes advantages of another's
misfortune.
 At five years old, they are moved to an open
enclosure.
 Food and water are provided for the older
tortoises.
 Pool for drinking and cooling off.
 A face that only a mother could love.
 Two of Darwin's finches.
 This cheeky fellow could not read the "Don't Feed
the Animals" sign.
 Flowers were prevalent.
