These photos were captured in the Philippine Islands. Most international flights arrive late in Manila. It might have been 1:00 AM when I cleared customs followed by 45 minutes of looking for the driver. Despite the unholy hour, the airport was crowded. In the wee hours it was roughly a three hour drive Arthur’s Place, a secluded scuba diving resort in Anilo, Batangas. The hotel is old style Asian. Windows had shutters, but no glass. It’s built on a hillside near the beach and is lovely. Scuba diving in the area was exceptional with beautiful soft corals abundant. Arthur’s seems to be mostly a weekend place used by folks living in the Philippines. One night mid week we were the only guests there. I took my meals at the hotel because of a lack of proximity to other restaurants. The food was good, but it did get repetitive after a while.
