Another night we took a boat ride out to an island for a 'Circ de Soleil' show and supper
This is the type of boat we and 68 other tourists were on

Other snorkel boats and lots of birds to see

As these islands are bird sanctuaries people are not aloud to step on the land. We were able to swim up close
and personal to the rocks and let me tell you the waves are very strong and if you are on the wrong side of the rock formations  things can get a little dicey very quickly. Luckily we had an excellent snorkel leader who kept us out of
trouble

We took in a full day of bird, whale watching/snorkeling/sailing with 26 other people on this fine
sailboat.
Included snorkelling tour, breakfast, lunch and booze.
Not that we indulged in the brooze as alcohol and sailing really shouldn't mix in my opinion

On our way out to the National Bird Sanctuary/ Island 4 hours off the coast / Bandarous Bay 

We have arrived...

I always like to include what the currency looks like in other countries
Here is the Mexican Peso which is completely different from the Cuban Peso
 in case you think that they are interchangeable 

This is me in my new dress at the Mediterranean restaurant.
Turns out I quite like their house white 

Glen thought that he might want to buy a boat...or perhaps a helicopter...
This yacht is owned by an 83 year old Billionaire...yes we 'googled' him

This newborn Sea Turtle was picked up by this man on our beach to save it from a couple of off leash dogs
He was kind enough to let us snap a photo before carrying him (?) down to the waters edge
How fortunate for both the turtle and us

This may not look like much but this odd track in the sand is from another newborn turtle that made its way to the sea

View from our balcony...

View of the beach and surrounding mountain range...

Every morning we walked for an hour on this (very clean) beach
Chased the waves, enjoyed each other's company and people/bird watched.
There is nothing like it!

The true reason for my visit!
"Must you take my picture?!"

It's official

Sleepy little Cleo and toys

Can you tell from this photo (Catherine took) that Cleo is almost 20 years old?!
I sure can't!
