The first day at Blue Lagoon we took the dingy around to Turtle Island where the Blue Lagoon movie was actually filmed. It is now a PRIVATE Resort and as we pulled up to the dock we were met with a worker and advised we could not stop at the island. We visited a small village where the girls found a couple of shell necklaces to buy. We decided to visit a local farm for more fresh vegetables and hiked for 30 minutes to get to the farm over the hill from the beach area. We found fresh papaya, green peppers, egg plant , limes and bananas.
After a few days at the Blue Lagoon, we decided to move Elysium to a place we had stopped the day before in the dingy while exploring. We made it through with ease as the girls, Fisun and Asiye kept a close watch in front of the boat with visual navigation. We are safely anchored amongst reefs that were in all directions from the boat. A fabulous Reef to snorkel.
As it turns out, it was a great anchorage surrounded not only by reefs but to the east of the boat was miles of beach with no one in site! The reefs in front of the beach made this like a maze to enter through. The bluest water you can imagine, anchored 100 meters from the beach in 4 meters of water and a nice swim with the whitest sand ever.
We have been here now 2 days, so much reef to snorkel and other small uninhabited islands to explore. We are headed out tomorrow for the Island of Waya for more villages to visit and another nice bay with great reefs to explore...
Thank you for following along as I make my journey around the world..
