SWIMMING WITH 1,000,000 JELLYFISH

One of the more unique and alien experiences on this planet has to be floating weightlessly in a warm salt water lake while surrounded by a few million pulsating golden jellyfish. But that's yet another underwater attraction Palau has to offer.

The island country's famous Jellyfish Lake is hard to describe in words. Better, check out a few photos from more qualified photographers (or at least a few picture takers who remembered to charge their camera batteries the night before their swim). A trip to Palau is not complete without a visit. 

In addition to saying hello to the millions of jellies, we did manage a few additional dives out in the Pacific. A few photos below. Sorry, but we can't get enough of the ocean life in this place. 

Speaking of the ocean, we met a German couple this week with a sailboat that's heading to the Philippines tomorrow. We asked if we could join--they said yes. Depending on the wind and weather, it should be a 10-12 day sojourn. 

Hopefully, we can check in again briefly tomorrow before we meet Palau-an customs officers and head out. More to come.
