The Violet Plate

It was simply incredible! I was served again with the same one and only plate with violet patterns in the small Vietnamese restaurant where I had my first meal in Puerto Princesa one year and a half ago! Sure enough! I looked around and did not see another customer who had a plate like mine!

Dolphins! Dolphins!

Dolphins! Dolphins! I run to the bow as soon as I heard the cry. A school of over a dozen dolphins gathered in front of our boat and were swimming along with it. It was my first time to see them up close in the ocean. They followed us for about 20 minutes, so I had ample time to run back to my cabin to get my camera and shot some photos. In fact, they only went away after Tara and Ruben were hung by their father the captain on a rope to try to touch them.
