Yesterday morning we got to swim with the turtles at Tobago Cays (pronounced keys). The Tobago Cays are a group of uninhabited islands with a protected area for turtles. The turtles naturally like being in this area as the turtle grass grows here and buoys have been placed to keep boats from anchoring to close to them. You can however snorkel all over this area. We were very excited when after some swimming we saw the first large turtle and soon I counted up to 12 turtles which we spotted but it cold have easily been more. They were not bothered by us and went about their business enjoying their turtle grass breakfast.
Afterwards we moved on to Union Island where we went ashore to get supplies and have a look around. The stray dog in the picture started following us and would wait outside each shop we went in before continuing to follow us around.
Andre decided to wait on the boat while we all went ashore to practise tying special boat nots which he mastered by the time we returned. Colleen and my dad bought him a pair of shorts as we've been teasing him that he only ever wears his green shorts. They managed to find a pair to match his 'uniform' of red and grey!
