Mommon Peninsula, West Papua


Mommon Peninsula, West Papua 

A beautiful morning at sea and headed to the 'waterfall'...a huge of spinner dolphins to the starboard side of the ship. The captain (who is excellent by the way), gets us right up to the waterfall, and we're told to get our swimsuits on cause we're going for a zodiac cruis!!! YAY!!! I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself. We definitely got the 'fun boat' with MiMo as our driver all of us are laughing, screaming and shouting as he sucks the zodiac right under the waterfall, the fresh water is pounding us, cruising around bailing water for another few dips, so much fun!!! The captain comes down dressed in uniform and joins in the fun. 
Whatever hangover I had from my birthday party was long gone!
Repositioning the ship into a secluded bay the scenery is beautiful, limestone islands, bright blue water and pristine beaches. The rainforest comes right down to the water and it's an interesting dynamic. 
The snorkeling here is spectacular, among the best I've done. Water so calm and warm, fish just everywhere above huge sea beds of branching coral. 
A colorful sunset off the horizon and an end to another great day!
