Ready for 2009!
Gosh, another year has slipped by and 2009 is well and truly on us...
It hardly seems any time at all since I last wrote here - but it was, in fact, far too long ago!
Since then we have seen the arrival of several new inhabitants at Aquaworld; Naga, Raja, Yin and Yang - the four Burmese pythons, Mookie - a well-loved green iguana who needed a new home and Georgos - a rather battered little loggerhead turtle found upside down on the beach road here in Hersonissos just yesterday by two local children.

Hopefully, Georgos will recover and, after a little tender loving care, can be relaeased back into the wild as was his predecessor, the ever-hungry Dimitris, last year.
Although looking after reptiles like Sobek the crocodile, the pythons and the iguanas is great fun - getting the chance to help wild animals along the way and to eventually return them to their natural habitat is by far the most rewarding part of what we do here at Aquaworld.
