Turtles everywhere!

We joined the dive boat today to head to the dive site named Tonga. Although we were only snorkelling we were lucky enough to see 4 turtles! One was so close and didn't flinch as we drifted on by. Christine is the chief spotter and is really good at finding unusual things. Today she spotted in amongst the rocks a highly venomous sea snake! Luckily, they have tiny little mouths so would struggle to bite us! Often they are really inquisitive and love to get up close to people, but this one stayed his distance. We saw a number of graceful lion fish too, which are really beautiful, but get too close and their spines give a nasty sting!

After dinner we spent the rest of the evening in the internet cafe, uploading photos and chatting to the lovely lady running it. So, take a peek at Asia 3...
