Palawan...no goodbyes yet!

We spent the next 2 days island hopping around Honday Bay and Sabang beach with a nice French couple who were also there on vaction.

Starfish Island, Snake Island and Pandan Island...
We even split the cost of a private van and trip out to the city's famous Underground River with them.

Like El Nido, Saban beach is still relatively new to tourists. 75% of the road out to the sea is still dirt and rock and cuts through villages in the jungle! On our way, we actually blew a tire. So our driver spent over 2 hours pulling out every MacGiver trick he had up his sleeve to change the tire with the few tools he had...we were left to entertain ourselves...and protect ourselves from all sorts of bugs and plants?
