Here come the turtles

After travelling for hours over the top of the island to the beach on the other side, we finally started searching for turtles. Ron and Cheryl decided to rest on the beach. The official explanation was a nasty cut to Rons toe but the more interesting answer came from Trevor who suggested they want some romantic time away from the group. The rest of the group continued the journey and it was long before we came across two monster turtles.
The first turtle with a shell more than a metre long could not get comfortable, didn't lay any eggs and attempted to return to the water. Jacquie was surprised at how quickly such a large turtle moved and it proved quite difficult for the experts to stop and tag the turtle. The second turtle put on a great show for everyone and eventually laid about 250-300 eggs. It was amazing and lengthy experience and one I am sure Traecey, Mathew and the girls would have loved.
At the end of the night we made the long trek home (about 1.5 hrs) and we were totally exhausted by the end. We had left at 5.15pm and we got home at 12.50am. Much too late for us old fellas.
