The trip
from Sunset Colors to El Nido wasn’t fun, it was long and squishy. At least the
van didn’t break down. We had a few unnecessary stops along the way but, we got
there.
From the bus
terminal in El Nido we caught a trike to Joaquinn’s B and B, our accom. A trike
is basically a motorbike that’s been converted into an iffy mode of public
transportation. All four of us and our bags just fitted. Fortunately, our ride
was only five minutes, not sure how much more of that we could take
Our accom
was unusual but perfectly comfortable.
Moving on😉…
El Nido was
busy in the mornings but by about 10 am, all the tourists had left and it was a
ghost town. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.
We had to be
careful of what we ate, as the local water is not safe to drink, even after
boiling. We looked at reviews for every place we ate prior to eating there.
We went on
two boat trips whilst in El Nido.
Our first boat trip had mainly beach
stops. The highlight of this trip was where we stopped to have lunch, the food
was fine but the snorkelling was amazing, probably the best place I’ve ever
snorkelled. We saw cuttlefish, turtles, tube fish, sea stars and the visibility
was perfect.
The second boat trip we went on was a
looong one but we did visit some cool places. My favourite stop on this trip
was the big lagoon, where we paddled on a kayak into the calm waters of the
beautiful lagoon. In some miracle, there were thriving green flora growing out
of insignificant crags in the towering limestone cliffs (There, I wrote
something poetic).
