Turtles, Iguanas and a Ssssssnake

Luckily, my hotel provided me with another short-notice tour option for the day.
The first stop was a kind of turtle sanctuary—with iguanas. And, in theory, coconut crabs, but they were off exploring for the day—nowhere to be seen. A shame, really—they’re supposed to be huge.

Instead, we got a surprise snake in the large iguana cage. Apparently, it was “cuddling” with one of the iguanas. When the tour guide saw this, she started to panic a bit and asked someone to gently guide the snake outside—caressing it like a long-lost love. Not her exact words, but that’s basically what the other tour guide did.
Kind of like what happens when I see a spider and ask my favorite spider-disposer for his services. (Cheers, slpy!)

The highlight of the visit was definitely the chance to swim with turtles. They have a bay netted off with two turtles inside, along with plenty of fish and a few corals.

I did accidentally record the video in slow motion, but after about three hours, I figured out how to speed it up again—maybe a bit too much.
Still, there were so many great turtle moments in there, it didn’t feel right to keep them to myself. 😄Leer más
