Day 150 Riung


Had the usual banana pancakes, an egg and fruit for breakfast then met the other guys at the guides cafe. On the boat they showed us the fish we were having for a BBQ lunch then we went onto the first stop to see the flying foxes (fruit bats). When we arrived only a couple were flying from the nearby trees but gradually more took to the skies until tens of thousands were  flying around us. It was pretty cool.
The area has 17 islands, we cruised past a couple then got dropped off for a snorkel at one where we swan along the drop off line to the depths which had nice coral and the usual fish we are seeing snorkelling here.
While we snorkelled the snapper, skip-jack tuna and barracuda were grilled on the beach.
After lunch we snorkelled at bit further down the beach and saw some small camouflage shark. We took the boat then to another island and just chilled for a bit before the last spot which was a reef in the middle of the bay. This had some awesome coral and a school of massive bump head parrot fish which were a little too deep to get a good photo.
