I accompanied one of the fishermen there to see how it was done and i got an experience myself firsthand. After that i went for a short hiking tour on the mountainous region and took pics of the land far and beyond. The view was one of a kind, i enjoyed it

I attended an engagement party that was held in a yacht and the experience was like no other. From the sea the view of the resort especially for its greenery was something to marvel at. The warm air in the atmosphere was very welcoming.
