Gili Meno

For the second part of our epic snorkelling trip, we went for a quick stop on Gili Trawangan and then to Gili Meno island for lunch and a visit to the baby turtle hatchery. Littletree was fascinated with the baby turtles, and the project to protect them at the hatchery where the eggs are collected and the babies raised in safety before being released into the wild (I sense a new biology-related interest coming on).

The kids also went into the bird park on Gili Meno

Littletree was hugely excited to see a palm cockatoo (she has a favourite documentary about them)

And there was even a cheeky crocodile

And even I have to admit; this was most definitely educational :)
