Full day at Palau



This morning, we went on a snorkelling tour, going through the karst islands for an hour to reach our first snorkelling spot, where there were supposed to be black tipped reef shark, although no one saw any in the limited area we were allowed to snorkel. However there were scattered schools of fish.



We then visited a natural arch.

There was a wreck at out next snorkel spot, and there was some good coral as well.





Our final snorkel for the morning wasn’t particularly good but there were different fish in one spot. 


And there was a beach.



After lunch, my snorkelling buddy and I decided there was enough time before the afternoon activities to have a snorkel from the beach at the resort. We were able to snorkel for three times as long as we had in the tour, and although the water was murky at first, it was about as good as the earlier ones.

We almost missed the start of the Nikko Bay panorama cruise. This was a highlight, as we chugged through clear waters viewing wonderful corals.





We also saw some railways coming out of the jungle that the Japanese had put all around Palau so they could slide out hidden anti aircraft guns quickly.
