Pulau Manim


A tiny uninhabited island with white sand and a fringing reef which descends to the deep ocean below. These channels are some 200 metres deep.

We spent the day snorkelling here. Beautiful clarity. A kaleidoscope of small fish, orange and black, electric blue and dusky pinks. Flashes of yellow.

Two things to note today. An island covered in small yellow ants. How did they come here ? They were everywhere – in the sand, on the trees- everywhere!

Should have been called Ant Island.

Then admiring the poison fish tree in all its forms, the buds, the flowers, the boxy fruit.

A lovely bit of blue coral

Leaving footsteps and a heart shaped coral as we leave.
