| Sting Rays were just beyond the piece of land in the distance. We took a ten minute boat ride to meet them. They were gentle and friendly. They swam close to us, rubbing our legs. We fed them squid. We had snorkels and masks to see the fish as well. There were not many. I think we frightened them away. |
