Palau, day seven to nine
Most likely the greatest place on earth! If I make it, this is where I'll spend the next ice age...
Flying over the dotted coralmade islands brought sheer joy and excitement, and an incredible urge to go swimming. The islands being made of such ssoft material were eroding at sea level making wonderous statuettes of islands. And the groath was just incedible. On every little spot away from the sea water there plants so thick that nothing else could bee seen.The water heald a steady thirty degrees celcius and an amazing variaty of corals, fish and animals. I will get back to elaborate on Palau at a later moment but You just had to know! After an Italian we met left, we were the only westeners it seemed. This was obviously the turf of the japanese. Sitting at the bar I came to talk to some japanese tourists. Talk might be an overstatement, since i didn't speek japanese and they knew very little english, but somehow, using an electronic translater device, bodylanguage and vivid gesticulation, we got along. My diving companion/instructor, Saki, also joined after a while and we had a swell beachparty as seen on the pictures.Palau is a great place. I can't stress this enough. I recomend this as a worthy destination to anyone who can afford the time, expence and hassle of travling to the other side of the world. We stayed at a place called the Carp Island Resort, placed on (duh) the Carp Island. The resort consists of bungalows scattered on the south side of the island, but the whole island falls under the resort. There is plenty of space for the shy, and the jungle covering the island is rich in beautiful plants, coconuts and animal life. I'm definetly going back there, if not to spend the rest of my days, at least to relax, go scubadiving and generally enjoying what life on earth has to offer, at it's very best!
