PALAWAN
March 6th, 2016
For the past month, I have struggled to reduce the pixel size of the photos so that I could load them easily.
The internet connection aboard ship is via a satellite and is slow. I get 8 hours of computer time for free for each segment of the voyage - 18 to 25 days. And under normal circumstances (sending and receiving email) that should suffice, unless you are attempting to load photos - each 2.5 - 4.5 mg photo can take between 10 and 15 minutes to load. The computer times goes rapidly.
However, I was able to reduce some of the photos from Palawan, which was not originally our destination. We received a letter stating that we would not call at Cebu, the original destination, but would instead have a day on Palawan.
Under the best of circumstances, I am not a beach person. That’s probably hard to believe if you have followed my travels for long but it’s true. So, on Palawan I took a bus downtown and Per went to the beach.
