Another early start and we're off to the Charles Darwin Research Center.

This is the only place tourists can see the giant tortoises. (They are wild on some of the islands but, due to low numbers, are protected from all but scientists and researchers.)

They also have a couple of land iguanas.

Then it was off to the airport (yet more organised chaos though without the organisation) and the flight to Quito (it's pronounced kee-toe by the way).
