Well decided to go and see what another island looked like took the ferry to Isabela Island which was a horrible small boat with too many people.Took two and half hours!! Arrived about 5 pm the water into the habour was very rough with loads of rocks.

Stayed in the hotel San Vincinte but in an extension which the first night could not find so had to return to main hotel to be directed.

Next day did a tour to Volcano Sierra Negra the second largest crater in the world it last erupted in 1998.

We went by road then horse back and had about an hours walk in the crater to see lava(old) hot water vents,lavertubes and big holes.Then returned to port Villimil.

I walked to the lake to find only two flamingos but there was not much water in it. Then we went to a beach bar in the evening to get bitten to bits by mosquitos. Then back on a faster boat am next morning.

Starting from Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz, I hope to catch a ferry ride, or other comparable priced transport there. Once in Port Villamil, I'd like to arrange transport to San Cristobal..how best to do these things? Anyone?
