Myrtle the Turtle in her bowl.
Tuesday 5th July - The girls spend the morning playing cards,swinging, reading and hunting for crabs for Myrtle the Turtle, as she has now been nicknamed. They also go with Stefanie Bej and Melanie to take Myrtle for a walk and a swim.

The weather has turned again - I fear we are not having the best weather Fiji has to offer! After lunch there is crab racing. We each choose a random hermit crab which Simon has collected from the beach. The big ones seem to be the obvious choice but in reality appear to be asleep! The smaller ones more keen to get started! We mark each crab with a number and then they are released in the centre area from the jam jar to make their bid for victory and freedom! Sorry to say that not one of the 4 crabs chosen by the Handley clan made it to the final of the 3 knockout heats - in fact David's burrowed into the sand and Rowan's refused to move during the second race!
