Great day at Filaka Island. We had bus tour around the island and saw the abandon houses and damages during the gulf war. There were some archaeological locations in the island, but we could not see since those locations are closed by the officials for maintenance. The full activities will not take more than 4 hours, however we were staying at the island for 8 hours because of the only available ferry schedule. We spend most of the time at Wanasa Beach in the island.
