Past Present Future

Past
I can’t believe our two week stay in the Philippines is already up. We seriously wish we had more time to see more and do more things in this beautiful country, but surprisingly, we’re running out of time.  But during our time here, we definitely tried to get some quality beach time in with some spectacular snorkeling.

Most of our beach and water activities took place around the islands of El Nido, where mother nature seemed to have been allowed to have her imagination run wild. There’s so much wildlife here and the landscape is just jaw dropping. I won’t bore you with the details because a picture says a thousand words.

Las Cabanas Beach - Got there on the first day in time for the sunset

Seven Commandos Beach - There was no one there but us

Secret Lagoon Beach - Karst mountains as the backdrop add to the magic

Secret Lagoon Beach - The view as we had lunch on the beach


We left the Philippines reluctantly, but we already have plans to come back to continue our exploring here.

Present
We’re now sitting in the airport in Singapore, and it makes me sigh with relief being here because everything is so clean and comfortable and accessible. 24 hour food places? Check. Plenty of comfortable seating? Check. Free wireless internet? Check. Anything and everything that makes a 6 hour stopover comfortable? Check check…and check.

Future
We’re headed to Jakarta, Indonesia next, where we found out last minute that a friend will be there at the same time as us! I suppose that’s a good reason to leave the Singapore airport.  We won’t be in Indonesia for too long though, but hopefully we’ll be able to climb some volcanoes while we’re there.
