The main piece of this puzzle was the Life on board on the Borneo Explorer boot , we boarded in Anilao Port, and we navigated for differente dive places as Apo reef and Cuyo Island before to arrive to one of the most beautiful place for diving in the world “Tubbataha reef” where we were diving 4 or 5 times per day trying do not waste any minute, basically, I was sleeping, eating, diving, eating, diving, eating, diving, diving, drinking and sleeping nice scheedule for those 4 days

In our 9th day in Philippines we were disembarking in Puerto Princesa, and as we had to take our time before to take the fly to Manila, we took the oportunity to visit one of the new seven wonders of the world, the Underground River of Puerto Pricesa. And there is were our land travel began.

Next day we flew to Legazpi and we drove to Donsol to snorkel close to the biggest shark in the world, the whale shark. Nice activity, in three hours we were snorkeling with 5 different whale sharks. I advice all of you to do it if you are near to this area.

After to rest one nice evening in Donsol, we left any lux to fly to the north of Luzon, starting on Tuguegarao were we saw Callao cave and the night fly of the bats. Then, we follow our path to the south on Bus (uncountable hours on bus if I am honest) to the rice fields in Banaue and the capital of Luzon , Baguio, and its coloured market. And to end in Manila where we took our fly back to the reality.

Next some of the hundred of pictures we took, out and in the water.

After 10 years driving the most feminine car, I said bye bye to my “Corsita” and I have got a new car. Hello “the black pearl”

The route heads towards the Esch/Sure dam, then follows the lake through the woods before climbing up the wooded hill that overlooks the lake, towards the road from Kaundorf to Esch/Sure, where it turns to the right,. It stays on the plateau, continuing along the road for some 2km (Iron cross: ” Kiischte Kreiz”) before going downhill rather steeply towards the valley of the Sure. A forest path leads back to the starting poing.
