Itinerary description

Day 5 of South Palawan bikepacking trip using a touring bike with 47mm tyres and 30Tx10-42 gear. Wikiloc limited to 25 waypoints, for more waypoints information just contact me.
The initial Idea was to ride from Brooke's Point to Rio Tuba and catch the boat to Balabac. Unfortunately, or better said fortunately, the boat left at 11am instead of 12pm as I was told. As it was still early I decided to continue all the way to Buliluyan where maybe I could also find transportation to Balabac, as it is closer.
The National Highway is paved only up to 10km south of Rio Tuba. From there, the rest of the road is unpaved with some small paved parts still under work.
There is no transport from Buliluyan to Balabac unless you charter a boat. the other option is to catch the boat from Rio Tuba to Balabac in the middle of the sea as it passes through Buliluyan. That is what I did.
There is a bakery, Singa, just before the pier with basic rooms for 100PHP.
