Down the river on the Erincik caves boat trip |
Heading for open seas |
We have to get through this narrow bit of water |
Single file |

|
Now in the open sea - this is Hole Island (can you see the hole?) |
Away in the distance are the caves |
Oh dear, looks like we brought the rain from England |
Half an hour of utter downpour, flooded streets and then the sun comes out again |
|
|
|
|
Rain can be fun when you know the sun will come out again in a few minutes |

This Loggerhead Turtle (caretta caretta) is in the Turtle Hospital due to damage to his shell caused by the propeller of a boat, and damage to his flipper caused by fishing line. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
This turtle had to have his flipper amputated after getting it tangled in fishing wire. |
When we visited in June, this turtle was unconscious due to being hit by a boat. He had a really nasty dent on his head. Thankfully, this time he seems to be recovering and is now conscious. You can still see the dent on his head if you look carefully. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The turtles receive a lot of really nasty injuries from fishing line and hooks as well as getting into accidents with the many boats running up and down the river. |
