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!

KUCHING, MALAYSIA - BORNEO ISLAND

By Pat Patrick • May 22, 2026
BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.
