Around 2 p.m. we reach the breathtaking, miles long and completely undeveloped sand beach of Marcilla village. Looking for a shady place to stay, we pass three young guys drinking whatever from a white canister. On the way back to Coron town I photograph some rice fields from all angles. I wade into the mud and get rice saplings and a young water buffalo up close. Finally we find shadow and sleep under mangrove trees, just meters from the water. This makes us free lunch for sand flies, nik-niks and other bugs I never encountered on the Southeast-Asian mainland. He pours a lot of sugar right over the roasting coffee beans and keeps stirring to receive a thick black beans caramel sauce. This petrifies into a pitch black block of bitumen and is ground in a wooden mortar. The mortar base has already been heated over the fire to remove humidity. Next morning we set out with the SeaDive's banka boat for Coron island. This is on Coron island, in the far north of the Philippines' remote Palawan province. Coron island has at least three spectacular lakes and eyewaterinig sand beaches too.
