I just arrived back from Palau Micronesia, and so many things happen during my visit, Sam's Tours Grand Opening and 17th Anniversary, all new facilities are fully operational now, read the blog post from Dermot Keane the General Manager at: http://www.alliancediving.com/blog/
The Survivor TV show shooting their latest episode as we speak, of course they are very secret about everything, then the Discovery Channel shooting at the same time a new story on the Bone Detectives and to top it all an international Canoe Race competition "The Micronesia Cup" was held at the same time, participants from Guam, Singapore, Palau,Japan, Australia, Patagonia and many others competing in this race, talking about a buzzing Palau.

I had the chance of buzzing around in the Helicopter, thanks to Matt from Palau Helicopters, Matt is a good old Australian and a fantastic Pilot, it was just like the good old days from Down Under when I was chasing Cattle in the outback.
After one of the Helicopter rides, Matt and myself met up with my friend Dermot from Sam's Tours at the Palau Pacific Resort for a beer at sunset, a great way of finishing the day, see the image above, for more new images from my recent trip to Palau please go to my Aperture web gallery just click here.
