WOW!!! PALAU is the tropical Paradise I have been dreaming about! This is trip just reached a new level of OMG!!

Our Ship was tendered right off the Palau Pacific Resort and we had use of their dock and lovely facilities for the 3 days we were here.

I went on the best snorkeling trip of my life, to date, with this fun group of ten. The operator was Fish n Fins and our main guide Anna, from Germany, was amazing! So knowledgeable and passionate about her job. First class tour, thank you Ben so much for organizing!

It was as gorgeous below the water as on top. I borrowed these photos from various freinds since I don't have an underwater camera - thanks David, Sherrie, Brent and Lyn. The CLAMS so cool and colorful, brilliant corals, Blue starfish, turtles and white and black tip SHARKS! I didn't see these jelly fish but had to include, so spectacular! There is an area called jelly fish lake.

To top it all off, the most gorgeous sunset as we headed back to the ship!

Any day sailing is a good day, even when the weather doesn't cooperate! Today, a small group of us got a private catamaran experience. We caught wind for part of the trip but also had two small rain squalls too. We still had a lovely adventure, good food and conversation and a nice hour snorkeling at a sand cay off of Sail Rock (shown below) , a landmark and the opening scene for SURVIVOR Australia Seasons 2 thru 5, over the last few years.
