    Question

    Why is it that Malaysian men (especially those working in bars & restaurants) wear their shoes 5 sizes too big?

    Yes dear tax payers of the Netherlands - this is where your money is going.
Big promotional stuff in Asia.

    So much for Sulawesi
We have very much enjoyed our stay on both Bunaken and Lembeh.
Big cheers to the staff of Bunaken Cha Cha and Lembeh Lodge - and Ben and Patricia for making the long stays on the boat very enjoyable.

    Relaxing Day

    Our last on Lembeh. We are flying tomorrow - meaning no diving today.

    I’m looking forward to go to Kuala Lumpur. Big city after 2 weeks on islands with nothing more to do than relaxing and diving.

    Now that I think about it it’s too bad that we only have 2 days in KL.

They come only out of ther caves once a day at dusk.

    Diving Day 2 + Resting Day

    I must say that the diving concept here at Lembeh Resort is quite unique - at least to us.

    Instead if having 2 morning dives and return for lunch - we basically stay out almost the whole day for 2 dives and have lunch on the boat. We all decided to not do more than 2 a day - but this way you can easily do 4 or 5. Not our thing however.

    The muck diving is exciting, and that comes as a surprise. Okay we saw plenty of car tires, beer bottles, slippers and underpants. But what is hiding between all this crap is fantastic to look at.

    Today we are gonna take it easy. I always like to have a relaxing after 2 diving days. We have been diving with Nitrox the last 2 days - so this time it’s not because I’m tired but because I have a stiff neck. Headbanging all night on the local Heavy Metal Fishingboat is not a good idea when you are 42.

    I need Tigerbalm - and I need it bad. So lucky for us nurse Patricia had that :-)
