Then on holiday last weekend I realised the bay I was staying on was bioluminiscent - without even trying, the experience had come to me! The place was Marovo Lagoon, in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands, an amazing bay dotted with coconut covered islands, a sprawling coral reef, and an incredible … Read how I did it…
