I really enjoyed it! And on top, we had a french pilot! So funny! The world is really smalllll!


The view from above.... All the small islands.. and the corall coast around...



Small islands bellow... So small, that not even trees on it... :)


And finally... after 12 minutes of flight... this is Mana island... our destination...
Looks nice... Even if it cloudy a bit... The color of the water is amasing... And from here we can check out the best places for snorkelling! :)



well... in one peace arrived... :) and the landing was not so hard as I imagined... was nice... and than just floating on the water around... :)


But you have to make sure, that your flight doesn't float around or away... haha...
Hey! Keep it strong!

This is "The water"... beautiful!








Very interesting how many type and shape of rocks we found on our way around...

And the night entertainment... It is really powerfull!!!








So... if we went to see the last sunset of 2005... we had to see the beginning of the new year!
The first sunrise of the year 2006!


Morning view from the look out point... only 5 o'clock!




And than let's go submarine! Wow... It is scary if you look down next to the reef!
A lot of sharks around! Yes! We have seen one! But we were lucky, he was only on the bottom and not moving!


Like small roses on the bottom... with planty of blue fishes around... but all of them swimm away when they hear the sound of the submarine...






blue coralls...



On the island there are so many possibilities for watersport!
