It was an interesting boattrip from El Nido to Coron. 2 hours out of the harbour the engine broke down and we drifted for 4 hours 2 kms off shore of an island where only some fishermen lived, waiting for help. The boat we had wasn't already too ...

After collecting our luggage, we ventured out into the cool, dry air of Tibet, a welcom...
