Nahlap: Island Paradise

This last weekend we along with the Gellatlys, Nedlics and some others went to the small outer island of Nahlap. For me it was my second time being there but for the others it was their first time being on this little piece of paradise.

When we first got there we unpacked our stuff, then Jesse, Tanya, Zoe and I walked to the opposite end of the island. Across from that end of the island there's an old, rusted ship and Jesse and I (Tanya and Zoe stayed on the beach) trekked across mossy rocks and waded through the ocean about half way to the ship and took some pictures. We all walked back to where we were staying just before dusk and ate dinner. After the sun went down, my dad, Jesse and some others went spear fishing and brought back tons of fish for a future meal.

The next morning we all woke up, ate some breakfast, then we went back to the other (less inhabited) side of the island again. Afterwards we came back and I took a short nap. Then Jesse and I did some snorkeling before we left to go back to Pohnpei. There were so many fish of various types; it was almost surreal. It was hands down the most fish I've ever seen while snorkeling. My second trip to this island was wonderful, just like my first. Being there is like setting foot on a little piece of paradise.
