Drying Fish Puerto Princesa Newly-built banca at Roxas Chance meeting with Andy aboard 2GO after 22 years 36 repair shop in a village area. They said we needed a new inner tube, and since they were going into the city later, they could buy us one and fix it later in the day. We were stumped, because we had to make it to the Underground River before they closed new entrants to the caves by midafternoon. We were lost in the realm of Murphy’s Law, but were rescued by an old bloke, who appeared like an angel, and offered to lend us his old manual chained bike to go to the Underground River! Off we set and arrived, booked, went by local banca (bangka) boat with a Czech couple and a Filipino Honeymooning couple to the unbelievably awesome trip for 1.5 miles underground seeing thousands of bats, swooping swifts, stalactites and stalagmites galore in all their natural thousands of years of glory. It was a consuming and mindboggling and superb adventure magnifying our minds in tuning in We were stranded again on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere! to the environmental wonders and opening our consciousness to the need to protect and conserve our natural world for the future of us, our children and their children to eternity. We were all smiles as we biked back to collect our rented bike. But, then, when, how, why and right there Murphy poked at us again as the connecting link on the drive chain snapped and fell out. We were stranded again on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere! Alfie turned up passing us by, turning back and stopping on his very own chained bike and asked us what was the problem. Murphy was our problem – big time! Alfie went off with Nessy, bought a new pin, went home, got his bike tools, returned to the scene of our predicament, rolled out his tool bag, refitted the chain, installed the new link pin and secured our borrowed bike back to road worthiness……..we were on our way yet again. Our rented bike was fixed and we biked back towards Puerto. We laughed together as we were passing the exact spot where we had had the outgoing puncture 8 kilometres back towards Princesa. Murphy was listening in to our conversation, and the bike went into a fresh wobble, hobble and back tyre puncture. Our fourth in 3 days of biking – I thought it must be a Guinness Book of Records winner by now, and laughed aloud at our new predicament. Some guy on a bike stopped and told us that 1 kilometre up the road was a vulcanizing shop. I pushed the bike there, and we told our stories as they fixed the bike by flame burning and moulding the inner tube back to a fit ride-able state. It was night time, and we set out slowly and carefully for our hour trip back to the bright lights of the city. Nessy was overawed by the thousands of stars in the crystal clear night sky,
