It’s meant to be about any interesting or exciting thing i would like to do and ‘ve never done before, and, wow, thousands of things come to my mind! Could it be jumping from a bridge? Or sailing across the oceans? Maybe go to the moon? Climb the Aconcagua? Dive in a coral reef full of sharks? Hmm... i really don’t know which of those choose, so, while i think about just One thing to write about, i’ll edit my blog. See you in some minutes...
...minutes later...
Well, here i am again, and i finally decided to write about one adventure i’ve been dreaming on for a while, it started when i saw a program about a group of very special islands, atolls to be precise, that are part of a tiny republic lost in the pacific ocean called Kiribati.
This group of atolls, called the “southern line” islands, are home to one of the most fascinating coral reefs in the world, not because of its size but for its diversity. In this program i saw, a group of scientists of many areas made an expedition in which they discovered the healthiest coral reef ever seen, in which the number of large predators as sharks were larger in number than the fishes they eat, but misteriously the food chain was really healthy, and abundance was manifested everywhere! The images underwater were just amazing. Also, in the islands, thereis a dense vegetation that represents the largest and most intact forests of its kind in the pacific polynesia, even when in one of the islands there were made atomic essays during a lot of years.
The point in all this, is that the exciting thing i would like to do is to go there, not only because i love to travel, also because i love nature. Imagine the long voyage to reach the islands, maybe weeks in the sea, then arrive there and camp just under the big trees, and then the final experience: dive under the sea seeing lots of coloured fishes, colorful coral formations, marine caves, turtles, and of course , many sharks. How difficult it would be to reach that place? Well..REALLY difficult, and also let’s add that i don’t know how to dive. But there’s also a space for dreaming no? And who knows...maybe in some time i’ll send you a postcard from Kiribati. And of course i think i’m good at doing this kind of things..i have the desire to do it, what else could you need? Hmm...money!
The important thing is to have a dream, and work to reach it. My first step in this: learn to dive!
See you in the next post.
P.S: I found this page about the islands, if you want to take a look: http://ocean.nationalgeographic.com/ocean/explore/pristine-seas/southern-line-islands/
