Meet Ah Wo

Beautiful day for Sunday lunch at Peak Lookout this pm…

Meet Ah Wo (pronounced Whoa), 18 months old and slumming with the spoilt pooches who frequent the outdoor dog-friendly area, under close supervision from his helper who keeps picking him up when he crawls too far…

(How do you leash a turtle, anyway?)

He’s by no means the first turtle we’ve seen out for a weekend walk, though he’s the first we’ve seen at the restaurant…

There used to be an old couple we would see (pre Rockstar) up at one of the Peak parks, carrying 2 giant tupperware like the kind you buy from Japan Home with the handles on top… They would let their 3 big turtles paddle in the park stream, with straws attached with duct tape on (so you can pick them up by holding the straws rather than keep bending over)…

We would fall asleep on the grass watching the straws moving up and down the little stream in the distance… <blissful sigh>
