I have no idea what this place is supposed to be, but there's nothing here except rugged rocks and the transition to the main island.

The colors of the sunset are beautiful. It's like a different filter compared to Taiwan. If you're ever in El Nido, you absolutely must come and see it!

The zipilne is broken. You go down and the two kuyas have to slide out and retrieve you. You don’t go until the end. Like it had a sag in the end. We didn’t go. If they have this problem what next? Die?
