Palawan is more rural than expected, the roads are from cement and not made of tar, on top of this its extremely windy due to the mountains. To add to this there are motorbikes and all other random forms of transportation slowing traffic down even more . The minivan stopped along the way for a "comfort room" ( a bathroom in the Philippine world - a place where you are everything but comfortable as you have to squat bizarrely low and remember to take toilet paper from outside before you actually go in ). The guide also told us to "make a picture" another selling point in their tours.
Man the little things in life that I am going appreciate so much.
