Current Mood: Sunrise at 05:50, that's tough. How about 08:30? :) It's an interesting little Island: you can walk around it in about 10 minutes, everything, including fresh water is brought it by boat, and they have a diesel generator to provide power for the few people who live here, the Army, and us. The army? you say: yes, it's a very protected area for wildlife, and they protect both the Island and 10 nautical miles from Philipino fishing boats, as any kind of fishing here is strictly prohibited. Damn, life is tough there, you have no idea... 3-4 dives a day, including a night dive on my first day (quite interesting actually, as long as you do bring a flashlight ;) ) On my first day, I also go thtere on time to see a batch of baby turtles being released. The water has some nice tropical fish (obviously, since I am only a few degrees off the equator), temperature is typically above 30 degres C, which is quite bearable :)   All in all, I manage by taking it one day at a time :) The Island had one phone/fax, and they just got a satellite internet connection (although I have to find out how much it costs them before uploading more pictures). Anyway, in the meantime, you can find pictures of Lankayan here  |
