Galapagos Islands - April, 2024
Day 8 – South Plaza and Santa Cruz Islands
Friday, April 12

Wife to Naturalist: "What is that?"
Naturalist: "It's a lighthouse."
Me: "..."
Score: Wife 1, Husband 0
Actually, more like Wife: 104,910, Husband: 3

Dragon's Hill:

At 9:00PM, we saw people running around with the headphones for the Silent Disco, but we couldn't work up the energy to give it a go. We decided to call it a night and went back to the cabin to relax before bed.
Final step count for Day 8:
