Attack of the Crabs

Living next to a flamingo lagooon, in august hundred or more are there, unfortunatly at the moment there is only about 1 there at a time as its out of season, which is a bit of a disappointment!
Went to work.. found out that pinnk water exixts.. the lagoons round here are actually pink!! ..was great fun, apart from the guys i am working with will not stop coming on to me.. but this is pretty normal round here.. all the locals after a gringo!
The tortoises are amazing.. they are like from another world!... got some great pics.. they are between 3 months and 80yrs old, as most get released at 5yrs into the wild again.. its also mating season, so lots of interesting pics, and lots of noise going on.
First day after work went snorkelling for $10 which was a pretty good deal.. also a small tour of the island..saw a ray, penguins, white tipped sharks, say loads of other cool stuff snorkelling!
yesterday went to the beach for a swim...
the beach is stuning.. and there is no one anywhere else to be seen. its like a private beach!
i found a nice spot to lie on, but for some reason there were loads of holes in the ground.. and i thought to myself.. what idiot has been digging holes round here.. anyway.. finally found a beautiful space, went for a dip, then returned and lay down, closed my eyes for a few minutes and then thought i might as well read my book.
As i opened my eyes i got one hell of a shock!! I was Surrounded by Crabs.. Red sally crabs covered the whole beach. I Hate sea creatures, and i completely freaked thinking they would attack me.. but luckily they didnt run away. i got my camera out and got snapping. It was so amazing.. they are so beautiful, especially their freaky blue eyes.. they were as close as 2 meters away.. i also managed to film some footage of them digging their Burrows.. its was amazing!
All this crab watchng though left me looking like them, with burnt buttocks and back!!
Also managed to se pelicans, some kind of diving birds etc.. this place is Stunning.. i seriously recommend it!
In the evening, i have been hitting the bar.. we need bars like this in england.. it is so chilled.. there are hammocks everywhere, chilled music, and you just sit under the starts and look at the amazingly clear sky and the you can see the milky way!
Loving life out here.. bit hot (38dgrees- and its currently considered cold!) but its stunning.. hopefully going horse-riding up the volcano at the weekend and kayacking.. gonna be great!
Stay tuned for more...
