Fidget - Loving hearing your tales. That sealion on the bench is gorgeous - I know how it feels!
Still not quite as cute as the sea otters at Monterey though - loved seeing them floating round the harbour on their backs - stone in ‘hand’ beating the beejeezus out of a crab.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Poor tortoises! "Come into the bushes love and we'll get a bit of privacy. I can't perform in front of an audience" For some reason it reminded me of the old Mike Sarne and Wendy Richards song "Come outside".
It is amazing that they totally ignore people. After all the ones that were hunted for food by seafarers, you would think they would see man as some kind of threat. The giant tortoises stick their heads in if you get too close, but other than that, totally unbothered. When we were with the sealions in the water, the boat goes there once every two weeks for three hours. It was as if we were the entertainment for the juvenile sealions, rather than the other way round. Hey look, the circus is in town again. All those funny seals that cant swim or dive as well as we can. Mostly the guests on the boat are kitted out in black wetsuits and black flippers. I bet the sealions were really confused by me. An exotic species in bright blue with big yellow fins. (I took my own snorkelling gear).
