Embracing El Nido,Day 2

A picture with the guides. 

Whee! Day 2 has begun. We all woke up at 6am. We left at 8:30 am since we booked a a package tour and they will fetch us at 8:30 am. All geared up, with my bikini, sunblock and a full charged phone, I think I am ready. I am so ready to go. 

1st stop Pinagbuyutan island. Bought now by ayala. That was its name before now it's Olegs Island. Passed by Lagen Resort, still an ayala property.



First time to ever see a big jelly fish, only that it is already dead :( 




Everytime they say bring out your camera you should do it or you will miss a good picturesque view. Learn it from the residents and tourist guides hahha

2nd stop Cathedral Cave as it looks like an altar. As they say. And it does. Oh oh oh!! It stinks! I never knew until now that caves are stinky! Cathedral Cave only had one opening. But it is very breathtaking when you look up to the highest part of it.




So, we passed  by some of the luxurious beach resorts there price ranging from 14,000php to 80,000php. Woah! Amazingly luxurious! 

Tendedennn..

Had our free lunch from Greenviews Resort at the back of Lagen Resort. Just a stop over. Don't damage the area just stay, eat and swim. I like the beachlife-like lunch. Very very native. We'd be roasting our pork and what nots there. We'll stay to eat. They learned food design as a course. This is great package from palawan resorts, they include lunch in a package. Of all the island hoppings I have been able to experience this one is the most RELAXED one. Hahaha




The cook :

We went on snorkeling near Lagen resort. I learned to Equalize when deep in the sea. Thanks to the kind captain of the ship. He is such a great swimmer without vest and snorkle! None! Then i was able to swim almost 10 feet at least. His was deeper than that. He is such an experienced swimmer. We were supposed to swim with the life vests. But i don't like to wear it i want to experience real swimming. And i did not regret it i was able to touch corals, big corals at deep sea with my bare hands. Woah! Love it! 

Next is Off to the cave now called the Cudognon cave which was a place people hid during the war. 



This is how we'd in to the cave. They have to think of a standardized way of entering it coz they did not create the whole, everything was out of the flowing water from rainy days for over so many many many years. It changes every year i guess. One false move and you bones may break as you may slip or your skin might have a scratch even. Slipping is worst! 

More snaps!! 


I just chill or else I will slip lol!



This cave doesn't stink that much coz it has many wholes and sort of openings fo ventilation. Not scary!! It has awaken the nature lover in me! Waaaah! Amazing!!! 

Last stop would be the Snake Island. We head on to the viewing deck and traced from the head to the tip of the tail of the snake island. Mamane , mama and I jogged while Kuya Mon and Yung Ling walked. When we got to the end. We all didn't have picture as our phone were in our bangka and Yung's cam went dead already. Hahahha!! 

Picture of the head that looked like a snake indeed...

And the sandbar that looked like a snakes's tail connecting another island.

I had a footprint there,too! You should do it when you get there!!! 

Day 2 is up as i am writing this.
At the end of the day, I got sunburns all over my back, ah~ but it is all worth it!!
