"The bronx"

Var bungalow var den billigaste, och kallades darfor "the bronx", haha! Vi tyckte att det var helt perfekt och trivdes alldeles utmarkt i "slummen".....
Our bungalow was the cheapest on the island, and was therefor called "the bronx". We loved our "slum"!Med sadan har utsikt precis utanfor dorren kan man sta ut med att bo i slummen, eller hur?

With this kind of view right outside the door, the slum is pretty ok, right?

Valkomna till/Welcome to Pandan island!

Paradiset! En liten o, med endast 18 bungalows. Vi hade nog en VALDIG tur nar vi bara gled in som pa ett bananskal..... Japp, ett rum kvar! Folk hade bokat manader, ja, t.o.m ar i forvag!!
Varje morgon vaknade man till vagskvalpet, och varje kvall somnade man in till samma ljud.
Bade dykningen och snorklingen precis runt on var fantastiskt rikt pa djur och koraller! 'en skoldpadda dar, en rocka har' osv.

We were in paradise! This small island with only 18 bungalowsis a fantastic place! People book months, years, in advance, so I guess we were very lucky when we just showed up on shore with our back packs.....
Both the diving and snorkeling around the island was great! You could just swim out a few meters and see both turtles and rays!

Till/To Pandan

Vi tog oss ifran Sabang, soderut. Det blev bade 'banca' och minivan for att komma fram till var destination: Pandan Island!
We went south from Sabang. It took us all day and we went by both 'banca' and mini van to get to our destination: Pandan Island!

Tillbaka till Sabang, Mindoro island. Nu skulle vi ta PADI Advanced! Och det lyckades vi med, aven om Rochelle inte riktikt kunde navigera.... och jag missforstod hela grejem med nattdykning.... 'en fisk, tva fiskar....'
Back in Sabang, Mindoro Island. We manage to take the PADI Advanced, even if Rochelle didn't really know how to navegate.... and I missunderstod the whole thing during our night dive... 'one fish, two fish'.....

Som avancerad dykare... eeehhh, sa maste man ha en dykklocka, divecomputer, som det heter. Vi var SAAA nojda. Men sa blev vi ocksa 3000 kr fattigare.... Den raknar ut allt man behover veta, och lite till. Men det galler att man tittar pa den under dyket, eller hur Rochelle...? ;)

Advanced dive computer, for advanced divers....Right? We were SO happy! But we also got 300 euro poorer..... It keep track of everything you do, but you should also have a look at the watch from time to time, right Rochelle....? ;)
