The Old Pump Station

After the caves we went for a swim at the old pump station. Only one person with us had been there before. He didnt tell anyone it was at the bottom of over 300 steps and two 5m ladders. Before hoping in the water Eve asked if there was anything in the water that could bite us, I laugh and said no. However afterwards I found out that upstream is the Cagayan Valley Crocodile Rehabilitation center, they are trying to reintroduce crocs here as they have been absent since the late 70's.Their website says this "The Philippine crocodile Crocodylus mindorensis is an endemic, freshwater, crocodilian.It is a small, shy and harmless animal that does not attack humans unless provoked." . On the bank was a pile of rocks with a peice of bamboo on it, if the bamboo moves (as this is not a tidal river) it means a flash flood is coming. There was also a water buffalo and a goat tied up I have a rough idea what it might mean if you go down to the river and they are missing..

This is a perfect Visayan dog, I have seen a few like this,but more often than not they are smaller and have black patches. Lizard (if you see this) you should breed them!
