The Final Day

Hi I'm James the eleventh and final blogger, last night was another slow patrol, only one turtle was seen which meant that a lot of tourists flocked to see this one. My group was also lucky enough to see some hatchlings coming out of the sand. 

Again we returned to the facility early due to a lack of turtles, tourists and poor weather. Today was a really chilled and relaxed day as it is our last full day together as a team. This morning some of us got up really early after just a few hours sleep and took part of the morning nest count on the beach. Some saw some juvenile green turtles, unfortunately one had passed away.

 Once every one was rested and had had a decent amount of sleep, then we met and decided on what we were going to do, we chose to go swimming where we had been kayaking a few days before, this meant that we could go swimming in the sea for the first time on the trip. When we got back to the guest house we had an meeting with Dennis and Ronald and then played a game of Turtle Trivia which Kelsie's team won. Some of us then went to the store to buy snacks for the flight home, Marc definitely bought the most. We've just got back from our final patrol this evening which turned out to be yet another slow night, but it was nice to spend a final night as a team out on the beach. We only saw one adult but it was nice to see a final turtle laying before we leave. Its now 2am and everyone is packing and trying to fit everything into our suitcases.

From all the teens I would like to thank everyone from Earthwatch and Nature Seekers for making the trip such an amazing and unforgettable experience, we've had some amazing moments and made life long friends. There have been times where we have all missed our family and friends, but it has been a trip that I will certainly never forget! We're all really sad to be leaving tomorrow and intend to make the most of our last few hours together.
