El Nido, Palawan meets a batanguena:

Lakwatsera sa El Nido

A sabit plan that's what I called this trip going to El Nido. I just volunteered to my sister if I can be with them going to El Nido as a babysitter and fortunately she nodded to a Yes!

Then they booked me with their tour package with a package of 3 days and 2 Nights with all accommodation, transport and airfare included. The price is a little bit pricey as expected for an ordinary and kuripot girl like me. :P

So to start the traveling of Lakwatsera sa El Nido...

Day 1 : Whole day of traveling!

If you are or If you have a strong body system in traveling I must say be ready for a day 1 of pure traveling. 

We departed at Batangas around 4am-4:30am and at around 6am we arrived at Manila. We have our private car going to Manila so we drop by first to Park n' Fly near the Airport then at around 7am  we finished our check-in inside the Airport and have our breakfast inside the NAIA vicinity which is too above the average price as expected.  

Our flight has been delayed for about an hour, so my thrill of first timer Airplane Passenger has been spoiled out due to something... I can't clearly hear the reason but I just heard that the Flight 432 bound to Puerto Princesa has been delayed due to....after hearing that delayed word we were like "what?" but we have nothing to do with it...

 "At Last!!! This is my First Time to ride an Airplane!"

All set in and I am so excited experiencing an aero- plane ride, it's my first time so I don't want to miss this moment. Capture every moment, rolling my video on and entailing every detail of my steps inside the plane... I requested to my sister if I can sit beside the window to capture every details on taking off and touch down of the plane.

We arrived at Puerto Princesa around 10:30 am and from the airport of Puerto Princesa we were picked up by van traveling to the city of El Nido. This is the First day of our package traveling day because from Puerto Princesa to El Nido the traveling time is about 5-6 hours. So for 6 hours sited at the back part of the van with not so functioning air-con and fast bumpy ride, yeah it is a one hell of a ride...

touchdown at puerto princesa ! 

Baby Gab Enjoying the Bumpy Ride to El Nido! :P

After 6 hours of traveling we arrived at around 4:30pm at the Terminal of El Nido and we met Sir Jude which has been our coordinator in El Nido... He gived us a warm welcome and lead us to the main heart of el nido by tricycle. We were so lucky that our coordinator granted our demands and sir jude was so polite  and nice all through out our stay in El Nido.

Hungry Night at







Paul's diner

we had our dinner at the paul's diner and ordered a very yummy chopseuy as my request because I was just so fed up eating meat yesterday then we have a very delicious sinigang na baboy as all time favorite of my sister and we tried their Big Time Burger that we overheard from our seats that it was one of the best burger they had... and we were so full and satisfied...

Kuya Miguel!!!! The Bankeros--Kuya Miguel and company were so very polite and nice. They really make sure that we are enjoying the Island Hopping Experience ...

Then the boat started its engine and rowed through the sea...

The Big lagoon!!!

Secret Lagoon...Now it's not secret anymore

big waves outside of the secret lagoon then  inside what a calm clear water

then after a rough wave we had our lunch at the Umbrella Island where the water is so clear with white sand beach...

then after we had our lunch and rest we pack our bags and hop to our next destination... The Small Lagoon...

Then next stop is the 7 Commando where unfortunately I Have no Photo of the Island due to Big waves and Rain... I don't have any action camera with me and no protection for my dslr so it is so risky to use...
