Turtles Galore!
« on: November 14, 2008, 11:44:15 PM »
Found lots of different kinds of turtles on the Tropical Fish Street in Hong Kong and thought some of our turtle fans would enjoy seeing some of these adorable babies.

And then there were land turtles too....

Most of the turtles were about the size of a quarter to $1 coin.  They only cost about $1.50 to $2 each!  But no thanks, I have enough.  Just looking!  ;)

Are these for sale for pets or eating?

Esther, these turtles are from pet stores!  :D  At least I hope the customers are buying them for pets.  I'm not too sure about the soft shell long snout turtle though....even I've tasted soup of that one, UGHHHHH!!!

Mike, still feeling the effects of jet-lag and the remnants of Montezuma's revenge, Chinese style.  :P :P :P  I was ill most of the trip so not too many photos as expected.  May have to search through the non enthusiastic photo-journalist family's collection.  I've been on a similar tour through the west of China before so I probably didn't take as many photos because of this reason also.  The things we do for our children.....  ::)

But...I will go through the photos to see if there are any interesting shots to share.  OK?  ;)
