Travis talks about Siladen

G'day!

My goodness, as soon as I don't say anything for a day, a lot happens again.

First of all, the most important thing: my two older ones actually dived in the “Black Water”.

And they were totally impressed and excited when they came back. They kept saying something like “incredible” or “magical.” Seems like a cool thing. My oldest will definitely tell you more about it here.

The pictures are actually pretty special, I think.

And the next morning there were actually two last dives here in Siladen in the Bunaken National Park. You probably know what that is, a national park, right? Just in case: this is an area where nature is under special protection and where people have to be more careful not to damage anything.

I still don't understand why the big guys need something like that. Shouldn't we do this always and everywhere, the thing about protecting nature? But well, I'm just a buddy bear and don't understand everything the big guys do.

In any case, my oldest had a bit of ear problems in the morning and decided to skip diving. You have to pay particular attention to your ears when diving. They are basically a national park 😇

And that's why my oldest drove off alone and my oldest and I just looked behind and waved.

Then I felt a bit uneasy. But luckily the great diving guide Yopi was there and brought them back safely. My oldest was also quite relieved, it seemed to me. Thanks, Yopi!

She then said that she was in a place where there were so many turtles that at some point she stopped counting. Sounds really nice and she obviously liked it.

In the afternoon I actually ventured closer to the water. I eyed the pool. There is even a small waterfall:

And imagine, then my older one held me tight and we went INTO THE POOL together. Of course I didn't go into hiding and I had to lean on it a bit, but I still felt really brave. What do you think?

In the evening some really nice people asked about me and my travel adventure with my two older ones. And I was allowed to take photos with them. They even want to follow what I always say here, they said. I'm really happy about it, because I really enjoy telling stories.

Wow, that was another full day. I needed some sleep then. And now my older ones have packed everything because we have to go to the airport soon.

We're going back to Singapore and flying to Australia on Monday. This is supposedly called “Down Under” because it is located “at the bottom of the globe,” so to speak. At least that's what it looks like. I hope we don't fall down then. And if so, there are certainly great adventures to be had in space. I will report.

Greetings and see you soon!
