Feed, Clean, Sweat, Repeat...

Unfortunately, due to the fact that I have been internet-less for the past week/2 weeks I haven’t been able to keep up to date on my blog and travels etc, so instead of a day by day i’ll just write about the highlights instead! 

Some of the turtle sanctuary's friends

Day 3-23rd October 2014-Disabled Turtle Shelter

This beautiful OLIVE RIDLEY TURTLE lost all her fins after becoming entangled in a fisherman's net; instead of cutting the net they simply decided to cut off her fins instead... heartbreaking! It's doubtful that she will ever be released back into the wild. She is fed, cleaned & looked after in the sanctuary, but it's hard to believe she would be happier in the sanctuary's enclosure than where she belongs... in the wild.

Sri Lanka-Day One- Colombo Airport to Kandy

After an 11 hour flight, I eventually arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka at 4:30am on 20th October. I walked out of the gates, cleared immigration, picked up my backpack and surfboard straight into my first taste of Sri Lanka.
