Puerto Galera

Took a trip to the island of Mindoro
did some snorkeling at the corral garden and the giant clam garden,
also rented motorcycles and rode around the island.The first pic is of my cottage on the sea(bottom left) ,you can also see it in the last pic.This is the kind of boat you take to get to the island.Lots of empty beaches like the one above to hang out on with only the palm tree's and Coco nuts,sand and waves to keep you company.looking forward to going back hopefully for longer next time 2.5 days just not enough..

Now in Manila





Well I've made it half way around the world to the Philippines,I have rented a apartment in Malate a district of Manila,the appt. is 11 feet by 8 feet (so tiny) but I do have my own comfort room(bathroom) trust me not everyone does so I feel lucky about that.It was a long journey to get here but well worth all 18 hours.Some pictures of the Taiwan airport(the Orchids and sitting area) and a couple of pics of my new hood/bario. Having a good time so far met lots of people and am checking out the city everyday this place is huge.It is so very different from anywhere I've been so far.
