Turtle Sighting at Monica Bay!

The best part of my trip, I have to say was being able to witness turtles at Teluk Mak Nik or Monica Bay.

It was absolutely the most amazing thing to be able to watch a mother turtle lay her eggs, bury her eggs oh and dig a hole too! Pregnant turtles only come to lay their eggs on the beach in the dead of night, so we were very lucky to be around the beach at that time driving back from the firefly sanctuary!

When we got to the beach, it so happened that we were in time for some scientist-like work of releasing baby turtles back into the sea! The little turtles were the cutest things and would follow the light shone by the torchlights when released on the sand, to scramble back into the sea. Watch the video below!
