    Fiery Palau Sunset...
    by kenmerk
    After being underwater for most of the day, I cant describe how enjoyable it was to sit on the beach (or in the pool) at the hotel, sip on a beer, and watch the fading sun light up the sky in reds and oranges...

    Every day the sunset was different there, but they were all spectacular....

    There's nothing quite like a Giant Manta... Sharks are exciting, Eagle Rays are gracefully. Clownfish makes for nice photo ops, but to see they giant creatures sweep through the water is the best...

    Once day (hopefully) I'll get some pictures in crystal clear water of one... (They're strainer feeders, so are often found in water that is not so clear...)

    Predators Everywhere...

    A quick glance off the stern finds four more of the beasts.... Now even VT members less learned than Dr. Manueleb could probably calculate that the big fish appear to be propogating at a geometric rate...

    I can say that Palau is the first place that I have dove where you don't only see sharks on every dive, but you are actually surrounded by them on most every dive....

    The Palau Visitor Authority is located at the intersection of the main road and the road that goes off to Ngerekebesang Island in Koror. I found these guys to be amazingly helpful in helping plan my vacation. I would ask them a question about a state and they would phone them up and try to find the answers for me. Even when I wanted to go to Peleliu Island and the ferry rides didn't match my remaining time left, they arranged a seperate boat ride and was able to get me a tour guide for the island and book my accomodation on short notice. They have brochures for many things involving the country and the air condition office is a nice break from the heat and humidity of outside.

    get scuba diving license first, then go diving in Big Drop-off, Blue Hole...

    When I met million fishes, 6 sharks and a sea turtle in Big Drop-off which is a good place for scuba diving. then I just found 'goddam, I forgot bringing my special camera.' So just only memories which I can't share.

    The Taste of Palau festival showcases the food and handicrafts of Palau. It is a good festival considering the size of the country. They have various sorts of traditional food plus new food made out of traditional products. There a couple dozen stands to look at and do some shopping for knick knacks. They have live music playing and contests happening with some decent prizes, even useful for tourists. It goes on for a couple of days at the end of March and is held in Bethlehem Park in Koror.

    Paradise thru distorted mirrors: Is the mug half empty, or it is just that it has been filled a few too many times....

    Sitting out in the sun, chugging a few too many cold ones can make one ponder such things...

    A glance upward finds that two of his mates want to join the party... OK well, two sharks make for a better picture than one, I suppose...
