Day 45

The boat, MV Sao Paolo (Negros Navigation Shipping Lines), left around 9:30 am. Our accommodation was Tatami (air conditioned dorm style). It is a fairly big ship complete with restaurant and cafeteria. As expected, the bathrooms were not the best. We spent most of our time out on the open deck watching Palawan Island slowly disappearing from the horizon. We tried to take a nap after lunch but it was rather difficult as the tv was so loud. All the control buttons have been taken and the control is at the information counter. Our bunks were the upper ones and were by the window. Sleep throughout the night was fitful.
