I originally had booked a flight around the rock islands; that trip however got cancelled due to an issue with the plane equipment – as such I now had free afternoon, which I used for a bit more relaxation and time in the spa.

In the late afternoon I used the tender shuttle between the ship and the nearby beach resort, to get ashore. Here I made the short walk up to a view point – followed by a beach cocktail (rum punch right out of a coconut) just before sunset time – accompanied by the final cultural performance of the trip – this time showing off Palau’s cultural heritage.

After the performance it was back to the ship – for dinner, last drinks and packing.
