Palau is my ideal tropical vacation spot. Our 2007 visit was a trip of a lifetime. More than a few times, when I was there, I would pause to savor the moment and commit to memory some of the beauty I couldn’t capture in a photo. Especially the unbelievable night sky with stars so close I felt I could reach out and touch them.
Heading to one of the outer islands
Seems every time it rains, there’s a rainbow
The Milky Way lagoon is a natural spa treatment which is supposed to make you look 10 years younger. I’m due to go back soon! The white mud felt great ~ cool and soothing.
Gorgeous, colorful mural at the community college
Cocktail hour (for me at least)
Another beautiful Palau Sunset
Ah, a great place for a hammock
Palau consists of approximately 340 islands across 400 miles of the North Pacific Ocean. There’s a small population of only 21, 186. In 1994, after three decades being under the U.S., the Republic of Palau became one of the youngest nations in the world. The official language is Palauan but English is spoken everywhere. If you get a chance to go, GO!
Looks absolutely heavenly! needing a little escape! Might add this to my summer backpacking adventure lesvoyagesdumonde.wordpress.com

Palau has been on my list for quite a while now. I think your post may have just moved it a bit higher up that list. 😉

You’re in South Korea, right? That’s so close! If you get a chance, go visit!!! There’s lots to do there but be sure to go to Jellyfish Lake (it’s surreal), Milky Way, the dive sites:Turtle Cove, Soft Coral Arch, Giant Clam Beach & Ngemelis Wall. I could go on and on. It’s an amazing place.

It was truly amazing to swim with the dolphin ~ they lived in a large saltwater lagoon with lots of space to swim around which made me feel better about their captivity.
