Small La Laguna Puerto Galera, Mindoro, Philippines
Por fin lo he terminado! Despues de algo de teoria, cinco lecciones practicas en la piscina y cuatro en el mar, ya estoy cualificada para bucear en el mar hasta 18 metros de profundidad. Yipee! Que peligro!<br><br>La verdad es que no me costo mucho adaptarme a la vida submarina. Simplemente, con asegurarse de que no flotas ni te hundes demasiado esta la mitad del trabajo hecho. Tambien es verdad que no he estado expuesta a ninguna corriente fuerte ni he tenido ningun percance ...
Sabang, Mindoro, Philippines cagonu... de un buen trabajo, debiendo dinero a las mafias locales. Las chicas tienen entonces que pagar por su alojamiento y comida y devolver el dinero trabajando en los bares, bajo la amenaza de que si no pagan sus familias sufriran las consecuencias. Muchas de ellas se drogan para soportar el tedio y algunas acaban acostandose con sus acompanantes pasajeros, imagino que no siempre por placer. Punto y seguido, el hombre nos dijo que el se dedica a enviar a estas chicas de ...
Sabang, Mindoro, Philippines cagonu... front, the guide points to it and in I go (Sure wouldn't want to be really sick here). As soon as I step in and sit down at a small desk, I hear and smell the sounds of someone cooking breakfast behind a sheet hung up in the middle of the room. An assistant comes up, has me fill out a small blank sheet of paper, with my name, address etc and then knocks on a door to wake up the Doctor. After that it ...
Sabang, Mindoro, Philippines rjdemp... with who shared the private boat with us. Upon arrival we had lunch and got organized for our first dive which was to the Alma Jane wreck. It was a great dive. Lots of fish and marine life and we witnessed diver master Jamie getting a kiss from a cleaner shrimp. Somehow on this dive both Russ and I both managed to touch one of the few sea urchins attached to the wreck. Ouch! I got punctured on two fingers and started to squeeze ...

On the second dive we were gearing up on the boat when we heard a splash and looked up to see that there was a space on the bench where one of the divers had been missing. Now you see him, now you don't. Ooops. We were with a group from Japan and the diver that fell in lost his balance while putting on his fins. He was so small and thin that he practically ...
Puerto Galera, Philippines rjdemp... beach. It was by far the highlight of our time in the Philippines, but was cut a little short when the lightening and thunder rolled across the sky in the late afternoon. The beach had about 20 people on it and 18 of them lived there. It was a great break from the hustle and bustle of our previous destination After making our way back to Sabang, the sun had returned and we were again seeking refuge from the start of another busy night. We ...
Puerto Galera, Mindoro, Philippines matpatterson99... and got progressly drunk. With one bottle of vodka gone Saff and Tony went to the supermarket and purchased another, and then we reached the stage of really flipping drunk. Various members of staff then came on to our veranda and had a shot or two of Vodka, and then the guys decided they were hungry, so we wnet down to the beach to get some food, so we made our way they and I believe we went to the Girly Bar, where I fell off my chair and met an Australian fella, this is ...
Puerto Galera, Philippines helgamorg... are not pretentious and full of **** like they seem to be when you go out in the US. Yesterday was a great day. We went rafting down this river to Pagsanjan Falls. The guides on the rafts are so tough. Two guides to a boat. They drag our fat asses UP RIVER for like a mile. Pick up the boats over rocks. You would have to see this to believe it. They are so strong and so good at what they do. I was in awe the whole time. The end of the trip is a ...
Quezon City, Philippines jenai... looking at the beach then a man selling taho passed by. I haven't had it for ages so I got excited to buy one :) Taho is a staple comfort food made from fresh soft tofu but it's sweet because of the brown sugar syrup and and it has sago pearls on it. It can be found all over the Philippines and is normally sold by roaming vendors in the morning. We're supposed to stay here for a night but the place didn't seem to be so appealing to ...
Puerto Galera, Mindoro, Philippines bluesummitTagaytay was perfect for the weather in Manila that day... So we went for an impromptu "lunch only" day trip. We located our favorite restaurant there-- Viewsite-- after some confusion. It's the perfect spot to view the Taal Lake and Volcano, plus it has cheap but delicious meals. We all got our fill of the endemic Tawilis that was crispy fried to perfection, and the delectable grilled ...
