The Antiseptic Baby and the Prophylactic Pup / Were playing in the garden when the Bunny gamboled up; / They looked upon the Creature with a loathing undisguised;— / It wasn't Disinfected and it wasn't Sterilized.
Arthur Guiterman, Strictly Germ-proof

One after the other, beach lead on to more beach, each desolate stretch of sand and sparkling blue separated from the other by cliffs. Our third beach was accessible by 4WD, and it rewarded us with the leftover signs of turtles – tracks leading to the sea, from nest hollows. The sheer size of these depressions in the sand is awe inspiring, but you’d have to wait well after dark to see the mothers emerging after laying their eggs. Instead, we made do with rocks of surreal shapes, some encrusted with marine life, others covered in algae.
