We watched batik, pots and bricks being made… But the highlight was when, on the deserted Rekawa beach, we watched by torchlight as an endangered 250-kg Green Turtle laid its eggs.Fortified by a couple of beers - and string-hoppers cooked by a hospitable ‘Daisy Akka’, we had trudged through miles of soft sand to observe this miracle of creation. With bated breath, we counted 106 ping-pong ball-sized eggs that will hatch in seven weeks. The nest protectors of Turtle Conservation Project (an NGO) had done it again!
We then returned to a rustic dwelling by the lagoon, where waves lap softly against the shore and creepy-crawlies do their number...
