Diving and Trekking

I'm still in Sabang. This village is magnetic. It seems like people who come to Sabang come for the diving and stay for weeks on end! I'm leaving on Saturday to head to the tourist destination of the Philippines, Boracay.
I've met quite a few people here from Filipinos in town to travelers from around the world. Two guys, Nick and Graham, from UK and South Africa went on a trek with me to the nearby lighthouse. The views up and around were amazing. The lighthouse wasn't much due to construction of a new one by the Philippines Port Authority. We found a small trail that led from the road down to a beach that was amazing. There were kids hanging out so we didn't linger long.
Some views around the area.




I also went on a dive with the VIP Dive Shop, there are so many here, but Jamie at VIP hooked me up with my room when I first got into town. Real laid back drift dive along some coral. It was a good dive, but nothing compared to the coral around the BVI.
Tomorrow I'll head to the local Tamaraw Falls and hopefully the Python Cave. There is supposed to be a 2m python in a cave 2km off the road along a trail. If we can find the trail I'm checking out the cave!
