View from the top of the mountain

The road leading from the side street to the observatory on the mountaintop is

full of bumpy stones.
I decided to walk on a rough road that shook so much that I almost bit my tongue.

However, the view of the east coast from the top of the mountain we arrived at is amazing.

30minutes to Puka Shell Beach at the northern end.

A sandy beach with nobody feels
lonely rather than quiet.

The quality of the sand is poor and the waves are rough,
but the landscape is a picturesque view.

Many of the children in the village are shy.
They don't smile and don't approach.

Why is it so different in the same country as El Nido?

It may be no wonder that the number of tourists on an undeveloped
simple Island has increased rapidly and it is not possible
to keep up with the rapid development process.

On the west side of the main roadnear Talipapa (market),

there are shops such asish shops, greengrocers, general stores, butchers, etc.
that fill the kitchens for the Islanders.

A road that is rushing forward with
tricyclesandtrucks.

Traffic rules do not apply here.

During the rainy season (June-September)には
, due to the wind direction,
this port the bunker boat arrives.

Construction is underway ata rapid pace at the port.

Talipapa(market)on the Island burned down onJanuary 20, 2005

materials are being carried more and more for the reconstruction of the store
It's full of energy.

Just in the middle ofa kiteboardingand
windsurfing competition.

The kiteboardingyou see for the first time is impressive.

It's like a warrior fighting the wind at a considerable speed.

It is a fierce sport that can be hit by the sea
if you are not confident in your strength.

I am deeply grateful for the chance encounter ofthe drama
that I never get tired of watching.
