Sea Turtle Sanctuary

A popular place for Danielle and Emily to visit on Gili Meno was the Sea Turtle Sanctuary. This is an undertaking of one of the locals named Carlos. He would regularly go out and remove turtle eggs from nests before poachers or other locals could get at them. The turtles would later hatch and be raised until they were eight months old. At that point, they would be released into the ocean.
Each morning after breakfast, the girls would run down to see Carlos and the turtles and help feed all of them. In between feedings both girls couldn't keep themselves from picking up the youngest ones, "just to have a little look".
