Our hostess sitting in the 3-sided welcome-tent where we had tea. We had beds in smaller tents out back, but I slept outside under the stars.
mother turtle laying eggs at 5 a.m. We had three groups of 24 tourists and one turtle, and our guide hadn't seen a turtle for the past three days. In the summer, there can be as many as 150 turtles per night.
