drove to the airport and bought a six hour flight going south to anywhere
to a place composed of exotic islands
where rocks seemingly and randomly spring up from the sea
as far as the eye can see
some shaped over time by wind and water to take on strange and magical forms
houses idly floating on the ocean
pristine beaches with clear blue green waters
numerous signs around populated areas warn of a constant potential danger in this region
an inviting resort bar sits comfortably above sea level and overlooks the yacht and sailboat speckled bay
typical scene from a waterfront neighborhood
when one asks for the food to be prepared spicy, the wait staff always asks for confirmation, often more than once....
dog and kitten share an awww moment
a rented lounge chair comes with tattered parasols that are constantly adjusted by a diligent staff who meticulously track the motion of the sun across the sky
a true island bar
a young couple enjoying the calm seas
preferred method of travel between islands
more leisurely travelers move about by taxis
relaxing on the beach on christmas day
