Monday July 14, 1997 - sandakan turtle island
This morning woke up at 7 o'clock
On the program, a little trip to Turtle Island which is a protected natural park off the coast of Sandakan where thousands of mini turtles are protected
the island is where turtle eggs are laid
We take a boat with Alex, Tracy his sister, one of his friends and their mother
After a little stroll on the beach of the island, we take a little nap
In the afternoon I chat a little with a guide who shows the island to
tourists. His name is Avelino and he is Filipino
We exchange emails
In the afternoon, guides explain and show us the
protected places "for laying turtle eggs"
