Thanking you all for kind comments and favs all much appreciated.
@essiesue I actually was really uncomfortable to sit on this turtle but the guide assured me it would not cause any damage taken at Bali on a guided tour also holding a smaller turtle

[Heather]

How fascinating, Dawn! (I read your comment above regarding the guide's assurance- I would have felt concerned, too.)

[gloria jones]

Weren't you afraid the ones at your feet would nibble on your toes? Fun photo.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Fabulous fun

[katy]

Quite an interesting occasion! So glad somebody got a photo of it

[Dixie Goode]

That is amazing But once my son sat on a desert tortoise that was about that size.

@365projectorgheatherb Thanks Heather that sort of thing probably not allowed these days

Thanking you all for kind comments and favs all so much appreciated, I did have sandals on lol , yes Katy Keith took the photo

[KoalaGardens🐨]

I guess it's not allowed now as we realise how cruel it is?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm glad to read that this did not bother the turtle- it does look a little odd- I'm sure you were thinking "I don't really believe turtles should be turned into chairs!" But it is a fun shot and I'm sure a conversation starter!

[Diana]

I am with Katrina @koalagardens on this one since I googled and read what should and should not be done! What a silly guide, my guess is he just wanted a good tip ;-) A lovely shot of you though Dawn.

[Dawn]

@koalagardens Yes I would imagine so this was 25 yrs ago on our honeymoon people are sure becoming a lot more aware

@olivetreeann Yes agree totally even at that time of 25 yrs back I wasn’t comfortable in doing this .

@ludwigsdiana Hi Diana yes agree like I said things were so different back all those years ago like having elephant rides in the zoo dressing chimpanzees up and having a tea party

[Boxplayer]

Amazing

[Peter]

What an amazing opportunity Dawn great image something that wouldn’t be done now:)

[Casablanca]

He doesn't seem to mind being a chair!

[Brian]

Nice

[Steve Chappell]

[Dione Giorgio]

Is this really a shot or is it made up? It both cases it looks amazing with the turtle carrying all the weight without any effort. Fav.

Fascinating! Like you, I probably would’ve felt a little uncomfortable. But I love turtles and would have been thrilled to see them up close.
