But this one i really can't join you. We are an archipelagic country composed of >1,700 islands but i've not been to many of the smaller ones, which are supposed to be the best. I am scared of deep waters, much more of big waves, and 6h is too much, OMG. There are some famous waters here too, these destinations are loved by tourists and i've sampled two of them. To Siquijor we are in a fast craft hydrofoil and waves seem like rolling us off and will wreck our boat to pieces. The 40min normal route become a very scary 1hr. But i went back though already in the not so rough sea season! <br /><br />That island looks enchanting and those birds look really big. It looks like the other side of Avatar movie!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-71926933906179984612012-05-06T19:54:51.159-07:002012-05-06T19:54:51.159-07:00There are sharks but not many.

Don't understand why folks go into the cabin where they can't see the horizon.<br /><br />Great captures of the birds and seals.
