Friday 11th September
Nagtabon Beach, a really really windy, super exposed beach on the west coast of Palawan, beautiful despite the wind and clouds and my mood swings. An anxious little dog, who seemed to take a liking to us, fretfully stood guard by our beach hut, jumping out of her skin any time the wind blew too hard or a chicken stalked by. She was adorable though, excitedly coming in for affection and a stroke every time it was offered.
I have to say, Simon is definitely getting better at his flaring. He spent the majority of our time on the beach practising while I slept and was generally a moody grumpstickle.
We managed to watch The Scorch Trials here in Puerto Princesa at the local Robinsons, and jheeze it was bad! It got everything wrong. They changed the plot and nothing went the way it was meant to!! I mean, it would've been a good film if we hadn't read the books already, as it is they managed to butcher the whole thing.
We finished the night drinking Tanduay with Kuya Ray and these two Estonian guys, and later a really softly spoken Filipino (the Estonian guys went out after a bottle of rum). Safe to say at only P85 for a bottle of rum and P35 for a bottle of Coke was more than enough to get us a little tipsy.
