Look Out! Wild Tortoise!

It's day 5 of 10 here on the island of Menorca. We completed a long and challenging wild walk linking some of the island's southern resorts.

Menorca is blessed with many beautiful endemic plants. It is also home to wild tortoises. Much of the island is criss-crossed by stone walls which provide cool hiding places for these creatures. They are usually shy though this route is so little used that there is always a chance of meeting one - and so it happened!

Rubbing the knees with ibuprofen gel tonight as they are suffering a bit! Onwards and upwards - a north coast route tomorrow.
