Play time

A lot of my posts lately have been about work, which makes sense considering we work about 95% of the time.  This trip has not been a vacation, days off have been few and far between, which isn't a complaint, it is what I expected and came to do.  When we aren't on the water or dealing with stranded animals, there is outreach to organize, data to enter, photo-ID to match etc.  However, I shouldn't insinuate that it has been ALL work and no play.  Here is a quick collection of photos of some of my 'play time' this month.

Cruising north in the back of our micromachine truck to check out the interior, which resulted in a broken engine, oops:

Finally made it to the infamous 'Chocolate Hills', a series of perfectly rounded cartoon-esque limestone hills formed by ancient coral reefs:

Day off diving in Panglao (with a dive butler, Karen!) and then relaxing on the beach:

Afternoon off in Anda, decided to crash a resort to use the pool and drink the most delicious pineapple shakes- tres posh!

Early morning dive just down the road in Cantagay with Jeremy of Jagna Divers.  Best way to start a morning!  

Fancy pizza night in Anda for Jom's last night with the whole crew:

So much fun to be had.  With only a week left of work, I am planning some play time for my last few days in the Philippines- a trip to Apo Island for some diving!
