Jellyfish Lake

DREAM ADVENTURE #60: go snorkeling with jellyfish!


JELLYFISH LAKE

Jellyfish Lake is an attraction most can only dream of, this daring and unusual phenomena, Jellyfish Lake, departs radically from convention; for it is an enclosed body of water wherein - over the course of a millennia - resident jellyfish have completely lost their sting because they have not had to fight off predators. Instead, they spend their days in privileged leisure, pulsating gently from one side of the lake to the other while catching the sun's rays and farming their own food supply of algae. -visitpalau.com

Dream Adventure #58

The world's largest salt flat is located in Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. During the rainy season, the water turns it into the world's largest mirror. The reflection of the sky creates a sense of infinity, like you're walking among the clouds. It's called the border between Heaven and Earth.

Crystal & Fantasy Caves

DREAM ADVENTURE 57:  visit Crystal Cave & Fantasy Cave in Bermuda




Crystal Cave is the most famous of Bermuda's many subterranean caverns. It is located in Hamilton Parish, close to Castle Harbor. The area surrounding Harrington Sound (which lies to the south of Crystal Cave) is of limestone formation and noted for many subterranean waterways, through which the waters of the sound empty into the Atlantic. Crystal Cave is one of these, and - as its name suggests - is one of the most spectacularly beautiful, with many stalactites, stalagmites and deep crystal-clear pools. However, some crystal formations have been damaged by earthquakes in the far past.

An excursion to Crystal Cave also includes the neighboring Fantasy Cave with Fantasy being deeper (88 steps down). Fantasy Cave was reopened in the summer of 2001 with all the pathways rebuilt and re-illuminated by artificial lighting.
