This years Christmas Golf Cart parade was ended almost before it began due to a dangerous driver, but a number of carts stayed and did their own mini parade, looping round multiple times to keep the spectators entertained! We’d gone to watch, and captured some good video even in the shortened event:

Galapagos 2021 day 8
Docked in Santa Cruz, we left the ship for the last time, saying goodbye to the crew and all our new friends!
Santa Cruz reminded us it’s nearly Christmas (and with unusual nativity animals!):
Before heading to the airport, one final Giant Tortoise visit – this time all the Tortoises are truly wild and just happen to be wandering through the Rancho Primicias reserve! There were still many, a bit more spread out than at the earlier place …
And that’s it! 40 hours, three flights, and we got home from this amazing trip!
