El Nido, Palawan    Lagen Island Resort

Philippines 

12.2.05 - 12.5.05

A short plane ride, and 45 minute boat ride, brings you to this beautiful island made of rock.  The resort is located in a small lagoon cut out of the rock, nearly hidden from view until you are right upon it.  The area is known for its beautiful views, and great diving.  We were accompanied on this adventure by Grandpa and Grandma Burkhardt, and The Vance Family (some British friends of ours!).  Despite a serious lack of dry, sunny weather (it rained most of the four days), we all enjoyed ourselves.  Enjoy the pictures!
