32. Philippines @ Palawan - El Nido

The drive to El Nido was not very easy or pleasant.



We went with 3 different buses. There were buses going all the way, but they were full, so we went little by little. It did not take longer, it was cheaper, but it was not nice.
In the end we got there and we loved it.


El Nido town (Town Proper) sits in a limestone mountain sheltered bay with a pier in one end along a crescent beach.


The paradise in the north of Palawan is said to be the best beach and island destination in the Philippines.


El Nido is an area, a town, but also a maritime National Park.


The area called El Nido is composed by at least 45 islands and islets.


We ate a lot of freshly caught fish.


It was just funny. These rooms were for rent... At least according to the sign.


We went on a day trip.


We wanted to see some of the islands, beaches and nature surrounding us.


We had a good day, we saw many beaches, but for us the beaches were too crowded.
For example when we went to the "secret" beach we laughed, when we saw that somebody slipped out the secret. The place was overcrowded with tourists.


The places the boat took us were absolutely stunning.


Our boat was the last, so we managed to see the place and to get some pictures without people.


They made the best seafood BBQ for us. The crew made it on the boat.


then we went to a beautiful beach and ate the lovely meal.


Here we are with some amazing limestone formation behind us.


We also went in the water and it was lovely. We snorkeled and swam from the boat in between the islands.


This is a clown fish or "Nemo". We see them everywhere and they Carina's favorite.


This is a black Snapper. It taste good too.


We climbed a little hill and had a pretty


pretty view.


We found the area so beautiful.


Also in the setting sun.


One day we rented a scooter and drove to Nacpan Beach.


Carinas favorite beach so far...
