In February I was able to make one more field trip up north on Palawan. We saw many patients and also some beautiful sights.
The trip up involved about 800K of driving up and around the north part of the island. We saw some amazing sights (ocean views, tropical forests, little remote villages). The trip also involved challenging roads that were everything but completely washed out to construction and many times the roads were just very bad. I had to smile every time the road was referred to as the "highway". The picture of the amazing white sand beach with boats and palm trees was at a very remote barangay (little village). If you have live in a remote village, it might as well be in a place that looks like paradise!!
There are some pictures of the very famous place called El Nido (even amazing race had a stop here in one of their episodes, so I hear!) The area is amazing with hug limestone outcrops that jut out from the water and throughout the landscape. There are a few pictures of us on a boat trip amongst the cliffs. We even came across dolfins (sorry no pics, you'll just have to believe me!) The sun set shows the boat drifting off after we unloaded from our trip.
Also in the picture is coco fruit, coffee beans in bloom stage (they are in bloom for about 1 week and the flowers are so fragrant!! I love coffee even more now, the smell was nothing like coffee but it was the most fragrant flower I've ever come across).
My rock collecting continues - the inukshuk is overlooking the view from our cottage in El Nido.
Well it is now into March so I am officially home in less than 2 months. (May 2 to be exact)
Looking forward to seeing everyone but as you can see from the pics, there will be much to miss here so I am enjoying as much as I can in the next few months.
