Puerto - Manila 07-05-26

Now, once again, back in Manila after beautiful Palawan. Lobster is really cheap in Puerto Princesa (compared to Sweden) so we brought 3 kg and had a terrific cocktail party last night in Martin and Ethel's apartment. Good thing for us that we stay with a fashionable Filipina that lets us use her clothes! In Puerto we also had the opportunity to work hard. So after many weeks of thinking our thoughts have now finally given fruit in forms of sketchplans and drawings. We got lots of positive response and feedback last night. So now we're very happy and celebrated with four hours at a beauty salon this Saturday. We never smelled nor looked this good before!

(By the way we have also experienced a couple of rats, stinging insects, sick dogs, extremely slow q:s, shabby hostels and no showers...)

Days of our lives....

We are now, on request changing the official language of this site...
Our happiness is fulfilled after spending 2 days with Captain Yuri and the forest ranger mr King. (Yep, we're hanging out with the elite here..:) Riding a motorbike to Bintuan was an experience. We had episodes of tropical showers and driving through rivers in the djungle, soaking wet when we finally arrived were the boat would take us out to Lusong again. But drying up quickly we could still get a lot of work done! It was so beautiful, water cristal clear.. And such service, with our own assistant provided by Coron. (Life is hard in a developing country..:) Now we have GPS:ed the area and we have a quite clear idea about the design. We're back in Seadives after one (sleepless) night on wood. We'll spend our last night here tonight, and tmrw morning we're taking the boat down to El Nido.

Don't hesitate to write comments... (please!!!!)

Seadive, Coron 070515

Har anlänt i vårt arbetsområde i Coron. Studerar vår ö och skissarbetet pågår för fulla muggar. Allt är bra förutom grannarnas 24/7 karaokemedleys..

Manila - Coron 07-05-11

Hej!

Idag tar vi båten från Manila för att cruza till vårt projekt område i norra Palawan. Vi ser mycket fram emot att få se "vår ö" Lusong, där vi ska designa resorten. Vi kommer att bo i en liten by som heter Coron och det finns tyvärr inga garantier för att där finns internet, så ni får njuta av de här bilderna så länge..
