About 16 of us were taken out on a boat, we sat on top and there was a kitchen below (plus toilet, engine and a big wheel).
After about an hour we stopped at an island (the type you see in the bond movies) and we got into a flat canoe made of very thick plastic (2 in each plus our guide) and proceeded to the centre of this island which could only be reached via a cave and only at certain times of the day when the tide was low. It was unbelievable,I have never been anywhere so quiet, It was like going back to the land that time forgot. We were surounded by steep cliffs with trees that were growing out of sheer rock, no human or very few had been could set foot on these islands as there does not seem to be any beeches just sheer cliffs.
We went back to the boat and were given what we thought was our main meal only to discover later that this was only a snack. The main meal came later in the day and was like a banquette. There was also an endless supply of free drinks (coke, fanta etc ).
We visited a further 3 islands plus stopped for a swim in the sea and were brought back just as it was going dark which added to the atmostphere, you could see all the fishing boats with their small lights on, either moored up along the jetty (this jetty was older than the islands and that was another adventure walking along it) or out at sea.
All in all the day was filled with adventure and one I shall never forget.
