We Went to Palau!

Ever Heard of Jellyfish Lake?

From the surface, this looks like any old dirty lake in the states. When you get in, you realize you are in a world all its own. The visibility is about 25 feet and you can not move without touching stingless jellyfish. They are all around you and packed below you. The tiniest one we found was like a fourth of your pinky nail and the biggest was about the size of a honey dew melon. You can hold them and play with them. They feel like a big ball of jello. Amazing.

Kingdom Hall

There is a Palaun congregation here with an English group.

Milky Way

They claim that this stuff is like a facial treatment. But let me tell you, it smelled like dookie.

Sharks!

You would never know it but just beyond those boats is a huge drop off filled with reef sharks. We swam with 20 to 30 of them anywhere from 4 to 7 feet long. All of the rock islands that you see in the backround have specific specialties all their own. This particular rock island has sharks. Wish we had an underwater camera.

We Kyacked Through the Mangroves

There are supposed to be saltwater crocs in this water...but we didn't see any.

Can You Believe the Color of This Water?
