Palawan (Philippines Travel Diary #8)

It was time to bid farewell to Siquijor and my new friends. What was unexpected was staying up the entire night with them! I had an early ferry to catch followed by a flight to Palawan, so decided to power through after getting a lift home with a random bunch

A Cabin in the Woods in Barili (Philippines Diary #2)
