    OMG! the view is amazing. Im sure you guys are having a blast around the island..

    Living on the island like guys from Lost? Okay. Surfing? Okay. 105000$? Okay. But I’m not afraid of sharks, I’m afraid of salt water crocodiles and as far as I know each 10 tourists get eaten. Croc is much more dangerous than a shark, because you can evade a meeting with shark, but when a 2,300 lbs reptile is chasing you then you’d be the most desired breakfast. For all the non-believers I’d recommend this article.
