Cool photo!

Oooh, you can see the glow from the pot of gold!

[Opsa]

Unfortunately, I did not find that pot of gold. G'arrrgh!

These are a few pictures to my weekend trip to Palawan, an island at about an hour by jet to the south of Manila.

This is a typical boat:


Beaches:



Landscapes:








At the mouth of the underground river:







Not bad for a camera phone.

I have some pictures from my snorkel on two little islands but I haven't downloaded the pictures from the camera yet.

WOW!!! Looks amazing!

Brings back memories.   I didn't make it to the underground river when I was in Palawan (although we did self-explore a smaller one in Sagada, near the hanging coffins) as we encountered a typhoon in El Nido and had to fly direct to Puerto Princessa as the roads were out due to landslides and the seas were too rough for boat travel.

I want to go back.

Thanks for sharing!

From the pictures I saw El Nido is a beautiful place, and according to the people at the office much more posh and expensive. Once in Palawan I also was told that sometimes El Nido is so full that you must reserve well in advance and some people stay in tents.

Two typhoons passed by on my stay, but fortunately for me north enough not to affect anyone. It would have been ironic to find a typhoon here coming from Florida.

We're having a gorgeous autumn here. These are two photos I've taken in the past 24 hours.
