Philippines

This is my third time in the Philippines. It's a country where everything amazes you: the nature, the people, the vibrancy. I flew from China to Cebu. That same evening, I left for Moalboal. From the airport, I took a taxi to the bus station and then on to the intercity bus station. This town is my personal passion, and the hotel I'm booking is the second and not the last time. It has its own small beach where turtles come. Two weeks of swimming, diving, sunbathing, and exploring the underwater world: turtles, sardines, Nemo, crabs, corals. Then I flew to PP and took a bus to El Nido. I wasn't so lucky there this year. PP canceled the excursion to the underground river, two days were lost. In El Nido, I encountered a typhoon, twice. It's both an eerie and stunningly beautiful sight, with terrible consequences. I wanted to get to Port Barton, but everything was flooded and the roads were washed away. El Nido is high up there with natural lagoons, underwater cliffs, and beaches. Then I took a ferry to Busuanga in Coron. There, I dived with dugongs for the first time! The underwater world there is more vibrant than in PP and EN. Overall, a month in a beautiful country. I'll be back again.
