El Nido, Palawan
Was a wonderful stay where we took daily island hopping trips and got our first taste of snorkling and the incredible underwater world of the Philippines….
Underground River, Palawan
Now known as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, it was the Underground River when we visited in 2000. Very beautiful area with lots of wildlife, great harbour and beach and interesting cave…
Banaue 1999
Located in Ifugao province in Northern Luzon, the Banaue rice terraces are often referred to as the eight wonder of the world. These impressive terraces were created by hand over a period of about 2,000 years…
Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens
The Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens is the oldest and perhaps one of the best kept secrets in Hong Kong. Located a short walking distance up the hill from Central, it is a tranquil environment where one can truly feel like they have escaped the city. There are over 1,000 species of plants in addition to a zoological collection comprising birds and mammals. Admission is free.
2007 Hong Kong Flower Show
The 2007 Hong Kong Flower show was held in March in Victoria Park (Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island). After attending the show we took the Star Ferry from Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui where we took additional photos at the Kowloon waterfront.
Pulupandan Island
We had a short very early morning visit to Pulupandan Island in the Isla Gigantes group in November 2022. This is a very small island with just a few huts and a few trees in the middle. We were the only visitors during our stay there. One gets a sense of isolation in this otherwise beautiful and pristine island.
Rock Formations
The Philippines is blessed with so many beautiful islands. Along with the many wonderful beaches, many islands also have beautiful rugged terrain surrounding the islands. Tall limestone cliffs and other interesting formations are common in the Isla Gigantes area (as well as some other parts of the Philippines).
