Up early at 07.00 to see the turtles. They nest on Long Beach with the season Dec to Jul and can return to the beach up to 6 times to lay their eggs.
Wasn’t sure how to get there, but followed my sense of direction across crunchy lava gravel and got there.
It was a scene from the Somme. Craters everywhere, with tracks leading to the ocean. It seems that I was not in time. Better get up before dawn tomorrow then.
Iust as I thought all was lost, I spied the last straggler
