Kusu and St John Islands



The view of the sea from inside the ferry, the map of Kusu island for easy navigation, the tortoise sanctuary was filled with Red-eared terapins and Snake-Neck tortoises and the biggest arrived on "shore". Kusu island was such a nice getaway from city life and noisy beaches ( compared to East Coast park ).



The biggest tortoise was not moving, perhaps sleeping inside the shelter ( I thought it was dead... ). I am sitting on the tortoise statue. Dom dom fell asleep after our lunch. An unexpected surprise? I was hoping to see dog-faced water snake but never get to see one here, and then I chanced upon this at the temple... a reticulated python! :D Poor tortoises... :(

Since the same ferry will go to St john after Kusu, we decided to go as well, the price will be more worthwhile ($15 per pax for 2 islands). Luckily we went there this time round and not save for the next year... the island was not enjoyable at all, with nothing much to see. I was a bit disappointed, but still enjoyed overall from Kusu island trip.



Taken on St John island, the last picture showed a weird creature which looked like a caterpillar with six legs only. The rest of the body drags behind.
