Disney Mediterranean Cruise: Turtle Protection Ctr

Sunday, May 02, 2010
Corsica, France
a.k. a "Turtle Love"

I booked this excursion because it was described a bit like "Go, Diego, Go" .    I figured that the kids would love it and, since it was only 3 hours, it would give them a chance to run around for a while. It turns out that I was fairly correct in all assumptions.

The tortoise center had pretty much everything you would ever want to know about tortoises. It had big tortoises, little tortoises, tortoise babies and tortoise eggs. They also had a plethora of species and appearances. They even had one that looked a bit like a crocodile.    As I said, everything you could ever want to know about tortoises...with the added benefit that it was apparently tortoise mating season. We saw no less than 7 tortoise porn shows.   And they make noise..who knew?   Unfortunately, they also look a little too much like you would imagine your grandfather would having sex...so the icky factor was high. Luckily, the kids didn't even seem to notice. Of all the kids there, I didn't hear one comment.   Phew.

It was short but fun for the kids and worth doing.   In fact, it was the only planned family shore excursion we took that I would put in that category.
