We stayed on the beach one night and waited until 2am to go and watch these sea turtles laying their eggs in the sand. It was magical because for those hours while we waited we were looking up at a sky full of stars! We could see constellations and many many shooting stars! It was really magical :)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754872390240056636noreply@blogger.com
