Muddy track to Port Barton…

The marvel of internet: loading my previous entries I was sitting in the dark internet cafe in Puerto Princessa. Five minutes later other traveller from Poland was reading these entries sitting in the hotel three blocks away. After an hour he found me at Banwa Pension and invited me for the meeting with the group of the tourists from Poland. I spent a nice evening with them sipping San Miguel beer and tasting tropical fruits (and speaking my home language again after more then a month).
Only once a day – at 10 am there is a bus from Puerto Princessa to Port Barton on the other side of Palawan. “A bus” is converted army truck with no glass in the windows and hard seats. First 125 km was OK on main, paved road. Then we drove 22 km through the jungle on the bumpy, muddy road – loading and unloading passengers, changing two tyres. We reached Port Barton after 6 hours on this “bus”- Palawan is still great adventure…
