Exploring the Rock Islands: Jellyfish Lake and Giant Clam Beach

Jellyfish Lake

This has been a game of careful what you wish for…no rain and LOTS OF SUN…it was a hot day, but also a fascinating day! We started out with a boat ride to Jellyfish Lake, one of the coolest places I’ve ever been. We hiked up some rocky stairs made for giants, over the top of a hill, and back down onto a dock where we jumped in for a snorkel.

Margie’s Beach

The tents were spread out along the sweeping sandy beach that looked out onto calm, turquoise water protected by a reef to the left which was home to WWII Japanese Zero airplane. A young 19 year old pilot safely landed it on the reef as opposed to crashing the plane Kamikaze style, as they were taught.

Exploring the Rock Islands: Risong Bay Area

It was a warm night of camping at Lee Marvin Beach, and I think most of us were awake before the sun even rose. Ludy called us to breakfast with a conch shell. It sounded like a fog horn. We feasted on sunny side up eggs, bacon, sausage, bagels, and fruit. Today we planned exploring Palau’s Rock Islands in the Risong Bay Area.

Exploring the Rock Islands: Nikko Bay

On our third day at Palau Pacific Resort, we enjoyed another amazing breakfast buffet. It’s amazing how excited we got over seeing what would be offered…vegetable of the day, a soup, beans, hashbrowns, pancakes, a variety of breads, eggs, noodles to order…the list goes on. Today’s breakfast was of Korean influence!
