Sadly our winter vacation just ended...But it was so so so so so FUN!!! Incase you don't know we went to Malaysia and stayed on this really awesome sail boat for a whole week! The sail boat was soooo cool! It was about 43 feet long, and had two sails.
While we were on the boat, we went to five different islands in just a weeks time. The group of islands we traveled to were called the "turtle islands." They were all really cool, and a few had AWESOME snorkeling! It was really interesting going to a of those third world islands. They were all very poor islands, but despite that the people were all vary kind. At one of the places we went some of the locals came and brought us some coconuts and turtle eggs. Turtle eggs play a huge part in most of their diets, but there are so many eggs that they would never be able to eat all of them…so each island has a small place to raise the turtles. thus, why the islands are called the turtle islands. The reason why the do the sanctuaries is because of the Monitor lizards which happen to find turtle eggs very delicious. We saw quite a few Monitors while we were there. At one point we got really close to one! Some are really really huge! Like almost as long as I am tall! Despite their size they do look sorta cute. Heehee! Well anyways…I could go on and on. Heres some PICS!
