The World From My Eyes

This post is a continuation of Searching for "Mermaid" in Tioman post yesterday. Once we had our lunch, we went to Juara Turtle Project (JTP), the place where my friend is working at. They do turtle conservation here and if anybody is interested, you can come here as a volunteer.  Our ride to JTP Ciktie following closely from behind We're here We went around the JTP area and saw a blind green sea turtle, named Jo.

It was a smooth ride. We passed Kg Paya and Kg Genting before we reached our dest
