What a perfect day...!

Today is Wednesday 17th April 2013.

I am not even sure where to start and I highly doubt that any word can fully convey the amazing ness of today, so I will make it short and simple, enough to give you an idea, and also keep the best of it just for me. ;0)

I woke up in a huge empty wooden room high up on stilts above the water. (I went to sleep the night before in that room, just me and no one else in the whole room, and when all the lights were off, you could actually see the reflection of the moon light on the water through the floor boards, and the reflected insulated light projected on the ceiling all night long.)

By 10 am, we were geared up (6 tourists and 2 dive masters) and flipping off the boat in the water right above the world most amazing Sipadan Island reef (which drops down 600 meters!)
After spending the day diving through gigantic schools of thousands of twirling enormous barracudas, and jack fish multiple times, swimming to almost touch more white tip and black tip sharks than I had ever imagined, and tagging (no touching) along huge sea turtles, we got back to the Uncle Chang's lodge on Mabul Island. Here again, I have the entire dorms to myself. Not the VIP room, but who cares? Am not in any honeymoon, nor trying to impress any lady. ;0)

As usual, my thrust of adventure on top of my curiosity made me drop off my bags in the room and walked straight of the lodge to wonder around the island and the little local surrounding village.

Wow! This place spectacular!
I saw two huge white eagle hunt right in front of me.
I played basket ball (mostly on my left foot) 3X3 on dirt, no shoes, and in between huts.
I discovered a sort of underground village made casino/pool hall, with three very special and smartly invented pool tables which you actually play combined with cards.
I played with little kids, making them jump on my back, 1, 2, 3 and even 4 at a time to swirl in the air like a roller coaster, for like half an hour. Exhausting, Burt so much fun, even for the elders that were watching.

Gosh, I want to stay on this island. 3 more days on the lodge...then will see if I can manage to squat at a villager's house. :0)

Anyhow...i will let you imagine the rest of the details...be creative and dare to dream, be because today was definitely dream like.

Oh, and by the way, this is what I am seeing as I am typing this post.

Good night and sweet dreams...I know mines will be.
