Cast Away island

I am not a movie person at all but apparently, the movie Cast Away was shot in this island where Tom Hanks gets marooned here. We decided to go ahead and take a hike around the island to see what all he must have done. After climbing up a bit, the views into the blue waters thru the green foliage was mesmerizing.

Monu Island

We are now closing in on our next island – Monu. The rocks are sharp and vertical. Apparently, some time back some tourist got hurt there. Now, it is illegal for tourists to get into the island. But there is a perfect cove for swimming around in sheer blue, shallow waters. In fact, people were jumping from the top of the boat!
