That words "Bungo" means 'skull' in Tagalog and is labelled as such because we passed a cave full of skulls! Well, actually they weren't really hidden, rather on display! The group told me not to worry about NPA in the area but it was still a little freaky! But, I now have a good name for my new tent which I broke out for the first time on this climb. My tent is now called 'Bungo'!
Reminder to self for teaching geography in the future - always bring a GPS on any trip, it's something kids will love to play with and will probably interest them much more than a compass and map will. Also, it's not overly important that you turn these off on the plane (even though they tell you to) as my former colleague/boss who makes makes did on a trip to Palawan recently. It's pretty sweet to plot your flight pattern!
Hopefully it's not 2 months again before my next post. Possible thesis stuff to come next! I'm here in HK now ready to get started on it.
