Log> Diving in Living Colour

I've been a bit of an American traveller lately, which is to say that I've gotten by with my mother tongue in most destinations I've been at. Of course, Finnish isn't quite as prevalent a world language. The last destination I found by accident (they had a sleek-looking website so I booked with them), without realizing they're run by a Finnish couple, both diving instructors. I didn't even clock the website had a link for Finnish on it.

Living Colour on Bunaken Island in Northern Indonesia, right off the Northern tip of Sulawesi. The resort is built entirely around the beautiful diving offered by the Bunaken Marine Reserve, and after taking the first dip I decided to stay for a week and do my Advanced Open Water here, feeling more confident than I did at Madagascar.

But unfortunately you won't be getting any photos - my allegedly waterproof Olympus SW725 got a fit after submersion in only about 2 feet of water. Otherwise you would certainly, the diving is gorgeous, and Living Colour, as rustic and laid-back as its 9 bungalows are, has wifi (and even a little gym). The ocean teems with rays, turtles and dugong among beautiful reefs. A paradise to my liking, yes.

But why would I care if there's wifi or not? Am I not supposed to be on a holiday, equipped with a jungle hammock and ultra-light travel gear and everything? I don't need wifi just to write, true, but I've taken on a new project while I'm traveling, adding a completely new twist to my travels (especially in this area of low labour costs). If all goes according to plan, in a few months time there will be something fun for sale at Prize Pony.
