After the unfortunate visit to Boracay we flew to Palawan hoping to spend some wonderful time over there.

Very sad but our government and some members of the community are unbelievably short-sighted and greedy.

Thank you for your comment

Your photos and descriptions makes me want to return to the Philippines to explore this part of the country - stunning! Glad that you had such a pleasant conclusion to your travels in that part of the world after the disappointing time you had in Boracay.

The layout
You guys have a picture stretching all over the top of your blog (here its the beach picture) and also you have managed to get rid of the intro (the part telling everyone who you are (the bio)) and only presents the blog entry. Hope you have some good answers for us ;-)
