Yesterday was a good day. I slept in most of the day because I didn't get off work until about 530AM. But we wend to the place called the Blue Room. Its about a 15 minute hike up to the cliffs. This whole island is virtually a dead coral reef that started in the Ice Age and as the waters receded, it became an island. So the cliffs are dead coral, aka sharp and rough.
You have to jump off a cliff to get into the water and then you can swim into the cave. Its about 20 feet down or more to the bottom of the water, but the water is so clear and the same is pristine white. The entrance has about a two foot clearance but then suddenly the cave opens up its about ten feet of air and 20-30 feet deep. The only light in the cave is reflected through the water. Its absolutely beautiful.
One of my friends let me borrow his underwater camera and I got some good videos. This place is amazing. We went a little later, so the light wasn't as good near sunset, but it wasn't too bad.
We also went to a place I'd never been to but heard great things about. Its called Thai to Go. It rarely looks open, and sometimes he just closes down because he doesn't feel like opening, but its really good. I got some fried rice (a whole togo box full for $2) and a soup with coconut milk and chicken. Sounds weird, but also sounded interesting and I wasn't disappointed. I don't know what he puts in his rice, but its the best friend rice that I've ever had!
Afterward, I returned the camera to my friend and he showed me some of the pictures that he got from snorkeling out behind our hotel. They're some really cool guys. We sat up and talked until 1 in the morning. They're from my home state and it was nice getting to talk to people about home. Pretty awesome!
