点评:Wanted to see what this was all about and wasn’t disappointed.
Now when you arrive you’re not sure what to expect as it looks like a roadside motel complex, that is what it was and it is now a purpose made hospital for turtles.
The guide was great, had only been there a month but was funny and really knowledgeable, the only issue was her headset that seemed to drop in and out when talking.
It was amazing to hear that the local hospital will give them MRI scans for injured turtles and even assist with anything else medical.
They have a small shop on site and a bigger one down the road and are looking to expand the site by purchasing further land next to the hospital.
Of course staff have to be paid but all the money goes into the hospital, they even have the 5 resident turtles who can’t be released named on a will !
Excellent trip and good to know we’re helping the 🐢.
This and my airboat ride were the only trips/visits we did where they did NOT ask for any tips - a welcome change.
翻译:想看看这到底是怎么回事,果然没让我失望。
刚到的时候,你可能不知道会看到什么,因为它看起来像个路边汽车旅馆,而它以前的确是个汽车旅馆,现在却成了一家专门为海龟设立的医院。
导游很棒,虽然只在那里待了一个月,但她风趣幽默,知识渊博。唯一的问题是她的耳机在说话的时候会断断续续的。
听说当地医院会为受伤的海龟做核磁共振扫描,甚至还会提供其他医疗方面的帮助,真是太棒了。
医院里有一家小商店,附近还有一家更大的商店,他们正计划购买医院旁边的土地来扩建。
当然,员工需要工资,但所有的钱都用于医院的运营,他们甚至还为那五只无法放生的海龟立了遗嘱!
这是一次很棒的旅行,很高兴知道我们正在帮助这些小家伙们。
这次旅行和我的气垫船之旅是我们仅有的两次没有索要小费的旅行/游览——这真是令人欣喜的改变。
