Port Barton

So we all limped more or less out of CWC and made our way to Palawan for some much deserved recovery time to be spent on the beach (myself more than anyone).  We had to fly into Puerto Princessa though, and make our way 6hrs north to Port Barton.  And below is the vehicle from hell that was to deliver us.  Not the best mode of transport when you're back is killing you, but it got us there in 8 1/2 hrs thanks to a flat tire.  And normally it wouldn't take the extra 2 1/2 hrs to fix a flat tire I know, but it does when you spare has no tread and is equally as flat as the one you're trying to replace!

But we finally made it and were rewarded with the beach below.  Now Port Barton is a sleepy little town with little going on, but that didn't stop us from spending a week here!  The place had character and super friendly people.  Not an easy place to leave...

But for Mouck and Lynn this is where we had to finally part ways after 6 weeks.  Their time was up and they needed to head home.

Worthy of a picture we thought,  not sure who was doing more work here...

But before everyone needed to take off we did have a few more things to do and see.  One of which included a short hike to a waterfall...

And we did a little snorkelling as well on a day spent island hoppping.  There was a lot of these critters around though, and one of the bastards got me good one afternoon when Mouck and I decided to go for a swim!

Life is tough when you're island hopping in the Philippines!

Another nice beach...

And we finished off our island hopping with a short hike to yet another waterfall.  The perfect way to end a day in the sun and salt water. It always feels so good to climb into the waterfall with cool fresh water pounding down on you.  My favorite type of shower...

Sadly though our week in Port Barton felt like no more than a couple days.  Mouck and Lynn were gone after an epic celebration that included an afternoon of drinks on our bungalow balcony, that spilled into the evening and us crashing a Filipino's home to sink karaokee with the Chilean and American cohorts we added to our group through the day...
