You've no idea how many mudholes were traversed on the way to Nacpan Beach, in the northern part of Palawan, where this was shot. The monsoon seems to highlight how corrupt the local government is -- how slow and irregular road construction is, for example.

We did change our minds, though, about visiting the hot springs and the waterfall; we both decided that we didn't book a survival trip but a lazy holiday.

THANK YOU for taking a peek yesterday and the day before, and the day before that. Because of WiFi limitations, I cannot sit behind my laptop the whole day and reply to all your comments, but I assure you that I appreciate all of them!
