The Republic of Palau

Our Family vacation, June 2010

Palau was a little bit of Heaven! We only stayed for 2 1/2 days, but we made countless memories!

After visiting Jelly Fish Lake, Jacob said that it had been the 2nd best thing he had ever done. When we asked what was his first, he replied "Diving with the sharks!" Not bad...the two best things in his life in one day!!!

Our Hotel in Palau - The Sea Passion

We stayed at the Sea Passion Hotel - I assure you it was quite appropriate, even for the boys! ;) Here are a few pics looking out from the hotel...

Kayaking in Palau

We spent our last day kayaking all over Rock Island

Wreck Dive, Palau

We went on a wreck dive - it was an old WWII sunken ship near the boat docks. We saw old helmets, guns, ammo, pots & pans, cannons, and all sorts of fun things....

Jelly fish Lake - Palau

We went on a hike up and over a coral -laden hillside and back down the other side to a fresh water lake that is the home of billions of jellyfish. They no longer have the ability to sting, so it was safe to get in and swim/snorkel among them - it was AMAZING!!!
