When I saved the tortoise

I have seen lots of animals on this trip. Most of these animals have been squashed by cars and are nearly indistinguishable. Except for the hedgehogs; those are easy to spot, sadly. Today a little miracle happened, I saw a live animal! It was a tortoise about 8 inches in length walkin' across the road. Obviously this little guy was going to get squished by one of those nutter Montenegro drivers so I decided to move the tortoise to the safe side of the street where it could walk for a long time without coming back to the road. It felt pretty cool to possibly save a cute little animal from a sad ending.

    We did the same thing with a tortoise on the road in South Africa earlier this year :) I didn't even think about how many roadkills you must see bike-touring. How sad. Hedgehogs?? :(
