I have my opinion on Barbados. It isn’t as paradisiac as people say. At least to me. Having said that, I went for a boat day trip which included swimming with giant turtles… and that, it was amazing!! :)
The guides kept throwing bread around you so the turtles were swimming very very close to you, even sometimes bumping into you. There was also 10000s of fishes swimming around. In fact, I liked it so much that I booked another day trip for the very next day :)

I found this turtle on a beach in Visakhapatnam. This poor creature has lived around 35 to 40 long years to reach its adulthood and be able to lay eggs. And made it to this beach after crossing many oceans only to meet its fateful end before its eggs could see life on this plannet. According to a media report, "the turtles get entangled in fishing trawlers and gill nets and the fishermen kill them with hammer blows to keep their costly nylon nets intact."
As I was driving on New Hampshire Route 114, I saw this turtle on the double yellow line slowly walking to the other side of the road. I stopped, stopped the other car or two that came by, and put her on the passenger floor of my car. The other people asked if she was OK, and she was. They said they knew where to put her, but so did I. What better place than home with three ponds, far from the road, abundant food and no interference? They agreed.
