The sea turtle

Seeing the turtle when we were snorkeling at Grande Anse was the main event of my weekend, even of my time in the Caribbean so far. I've never seen anything like that before. It was scratching it's back on the bottom of the sea against a piece of rubbish for a long time, then it swam up to the surface to breath and circled around us, Sebah swam with it and it looked at us and then it swam away, very elegantly, for such a big animal.
On Saturday I went for a 'rando' at Presqu'île de la Caravelle near Tartane. I'll post some pictures, it was the most beautiful walk so far, yes it was a great weekend:-). Mangroves, cliffs, forest, big bright red hermits and lots of different kind of crabs and birds.
Apart from fishes and a turtle I also met quite a few new people. On Friday we were invited at Sebah's place for a vegan potluck. He lives in a house on the hills with an amazing view on Le Diamant. The people, the house, the environment and the food, everything felt very harmonious.
