Jellyfish stings at Nagtabon Bay


Our team trip to Nagtabon Bay... my first time on the other side of the island and my first time swimming in the south China sea. 
   To get there we followed a small gravel track over the mountains, then dropped quickly to a beautiful hidden bay. The sea was warm... which was good because we arrived there in heavy rain, so it was warmer to be swimming than not!
   We had to put up with loads of small jellyfish, but they weren’t dangerous. Just a little sting every now and then which left a small mark like a mosquito bite. 
   I was doing the whole lifeguard thing, keeping an eye on the children, because lots of Philippinos can't swim at all and I was the best swimmer there.
