El nido... Neato!
El nido, what can I say? As Jared put it, it was worth the 7hr hot bumpy car ride there leaving at 1am, and it was sort of worth the hot 7hr bumpy car ride home arriving at 11pm the same day. All in all, El nido, the northern tip of Palawan Island, is beautiful. We took a day trip to this paradise and took some local boats to go island hopping. The first island allowed us to explore water caves and blue lagoons with masks and snorkles. The water was so blue and clear it was unreal. We were all in awe. The next island we all played in the surf and some tried to catch Nemo fish in plastic bags (proving more difficult than initially thought) followed by an amazing meal of fresh grilled fish and squid with mangos and bananas. We all fell asleep on the deck of the boat on the way to the next island where we hopped off on to the white powder sand to head up to a hut nestled amongst coconut trees with hammocks to wet our whisltes with ice cold pop in glass bottles and some pringle chips. After dragging our feet to get back on the boat, we headed back into the harbour to pack up for the long ride home. This ride was slightly more painful due to increased heat, sun burns covering the majority of our bodies and the stickness of the seats the church in Peurto Princessa couldn't fast enough. It was an unforgettable day, in so many ways.
