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.
