I, in my youthful innocence, had expected it to be some kind of zoological park but no, the Iguanas are just wandering about a normal park. So weird but very cool! You walk along and there are the Iguanas; being fed with the pigeons, walking alongside you or having a rest on the benches.
On Friday we walked along the Malecon (promenade) along the river. No, I don't have photos but take my word for it that it was gorgeous. Cafes, ice cream stalls, mini parks and huge old trees lined the walk. We could have happily spent the whole day there but we had serious touristy things to do!

| Las Penas |
Our aim was Las Penas-this is a hill where you climb the 444 steps up to the top where there is a lighthouse and some pretty huge canons which were used to fight off pirates.

Late Friday afternoon we headed back to Santo. 10 hours round trip for a 24 hour mini break, I'd never do this in the UK and yes I was exhausted but it was great!
