Hi Hamish here! Today we did something so awesome… We drove for about ½ an hour to a place called Turtle Bay. Soon after we arrived we saw some baby turtles – 1 month, 2 months, 10 months and 1 year old. The youngest baby turtles flipped their flippers in my hand and some of them just looked like shells with heads when they tucked their flippers in. We also saw some very huge and ugly coconut crabs. They can claw your finger off so we didn’t touch them. After the patting pool we went to a much larger ocean pool where we fed some huge turtles and saw some reef sharks swimming around. One of the turtles was 70 years old, one was 8o years old. There were smaller ones too. But the best bit of all was when we SWAM with the turtles. Their shells feel hard but slippery and I held onto the shell of one of the big ones and went for a ride! It was sooooo AWESOME! Unfortunately, at the end one of the turtles thought that Elijah’s arm was a piece of pawpaw and he bit his arm – but he was very brave and not many 3 year old boys can say they were bitten by a turtle.
