Our final days in Bandos were snorkelling in the morning and then napping, reading and eating.
Among the many colourful fish, we were lucky to see a giant sea turtle. We hovered close to it for a good 15 minutes. At one point it turned and swam towards us. Came within a metre. The shell on its back is at least one metre in length and when it swims, its feet stretch way out to either side. The other life forms on the island are large fruit bats. They look prehistoric and we occasionally see them with their rubbery wings fly overhead as they perch on a fruit tree.
Our day of departure was overcast with some rain. It was a long night and morning travelling back to Singapore and then waiting 7 hours for our flight to Cambodia - Phenom Phen.
