Palau is like an underwater Safari, complete with Lion(fish), Tiger(fish)
Zebra(fish) and fish that look like Elephants, except for the long trunks,
huge ears, and big, flat feet... come to think of it, none of the fish
looked like elephants. But the diversity of underwater sealife is so
abundant, you can find more species in the ocean than in a college
fraternity's kitchen sink.
Situated near Indonesia, just seven degrees north of the equator in the
Pacific Ocean, the country is composed of thousands of islands.
I spent two weeks in this Pacific Paradise with
Wilderness Travel,
kayaking around the scenic Rock Islands, where hundreds of luxuriant
limestone islands jut straight up from aquamarine seas like a
jack-in-the-box on Christmas morning. (Except that they don't actually
move when they jut.) (The islands, that is.)
