But I am getting ahead of myself. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Resort Daytona Beach Oceanfront. We were upgraded to a suite which included a kitchen with full refrigerator, stovetop and microwave. It also had a sofa bed and dining table and chairs. There was a balcony overlooking the pool area with an ocean view. The room was quite nice.

Dream Trip - Galapagos Islands Part 4
This was a special day, my husband's birthday. We took a taxi to Tortuga Bay. The trail to the beach is about 1 1/2 miles long and starts out with stone stairs. The trail is paved and runs through a desert-like area. It was a hot day and by the time we made it to the beach we were ready to cool off. But - the first beach we reached is mostly for the wildlife, there are big waves and strong currents here and no swimming is allowed. We got some good closeup shots of the marine iguanas. If you keep walking you reach a cove or lagoon where there is another smaller beach where swimming is allowed. This water was calm, more like a lake. There were lots of marine iguanas swimming around. It's a nice beach with a few trees and lots of little birds.

Dream Trip - Galapagos Islands Part 3
On the third day we made arrangements with W (who had picked us up when we arrived in Galapagos) for a day trip. We would be visiting El Chato Ranch Giant Tortoise Reserve where the tortoises are in their natural habitat. But first we had breakfast at our favorite spot in town, - Kale. Then we got a taxi (one of the white pickup trucks ) back to the apartment where W picked us up.
