As the name implies the region is dotted with numerous tiny islands.
Some have beaches to which you can charter a boat. Typically the boat
will leave you for several hours on your own private beach.
No distractions, no outside information, no electricity. Survival by your own wits. Your
life in your hands. That's how it is to be in an island.
We decided to settle overnight at the Children's Island. Tent is our fly-by-night shanty and the only thing that illuminated the surroundings is our flashlight, our cellphones as the solitary source of lively music.
We really didn't mind if our body particularly our feet, served as food for the furious ants and insects that night, what really matters is the gratification that we currently feel because it is the only time again that my friends and I bump into a mutual time to unwind and perhaps treat ourselves.
