Incredible beaches and some more diving!
... this beach is. And the best thing was, we were the only ones! So Jörgen cracked open a coconut and we just enjoyed this unbelievable beautiful beach. Just in front of us in the lagoon were two big and luxurious yachts passing by on their way to the harbor of the village. We were so amazed that this is still a place where you think you are really leaving in paradise! Some snorkeling within the corals and fishes later it is time to go, because time ...

... our dinghies with long lines on them out into the ocean and drifted back into the lagoon through a smaller pass on the flooding tide. We were able to do this several times before the tides turned; at which time we would have been carried out to sea… not a good idea.
