Coco-Loco Island Resort, Palawan
It had to finally arrive, my last full day on Palawan. Tomorrow night I’ll be sleeping in my bed back in Taipei. Though this really isn’t my last day in Palawan when you think about it. I take the boat back to the main island tomorrow morning at 8:00. So I’ll be waking up here in paradise. …
Palawan Motorbike Trip 013

I can feel my trip winding town. Today, I turn the front wheel of my motorcycle back toward Roxas. Craig was successful on his mission, and he reserved a cottage for me at Coco-Loco island Resort. It isn’t one of the nice cottages on the beach, but that’s okay. I’m only going to be there for two nights, and the …
Palawan Motorbike Trip 006
Getting out Nagtabon was a challenge. The road was very steep and I had to gun the engine in first gear like some kind of motocross racer. My rear wheel was bouncing all over the place as the bike jumped and skipped from rock to rock. By the way, I kind of changed my mind about the motorcycle. I was disappointed in it and thought …

San Vicente, Palawan
Being 3:30 in the afternoon, it’s a bit late for my morning coffee, but I’ll take it when and where I can get it – comfortable that is.
I woke up this morning in my little bungalow in Nagtabon with the idea that I would hit the road and see where I ended up. I thought I might end …

I’m back in Puerto Princesa and my flight leaves in three and a half hours. I haven’t written much the final few days mainly because there is no memory left in the NEO. I’ve been reduced to pen and paper. Plus, I’ve cycled for day days and there hasn’t been time in the morning.
My days on Coco Loco were wonderful and just what …

Today is my last day on Coco Loco, and it began with a tremendous thunder storm. It started around 6:00 this morning and went on for an hour or an hour and a half. I lay in my bed listening to the thunder and the heavy beat of the rain on my thatch roof. There was only one leak and that …

Coco Loco has been a surprise on many levels. It was a surprise tha I got out here with no trouble and that they had a cottage. I twas also a surprise that of all the cottages, I got the one that suited me perfectly – on the windy side right at the end. The overall junky quality of the place was also …
Palawan Bike Trip 015
March 31, 2008
I was a little bit concerned about the cycling from Taytay to Roxas. I remembered how hard it was the first time. With that in mind, I set my alarm for four in the morning. It was still pitch dark at that time and I took my time packing and getting ready. Even so, I wasn’t on the road until 5:15. The sun …
