El Nido, Philippines

The morning started early with a quick breakfast before we checked out from the hotel. Today we will leave from Puerto Princesa to El Nido for five nights. A shuttle was waiting for us just outside the hotel and after drivning through the mountains and the jungle for 4.5 hours, we arrived at El Nidos bus terminal. The first thing we had to do was to exchange some money before heading to our new hotel Island Front. The first thing I recognized was that the rooms were almost hidden in a garden. When continuing further, I saw it - the beach! The hotel is located exactly 0m from the beach - and what a view! Since I'm a beach person and could basically spend day and night at the beach, this hotel was looking like my dream home. El Nido is a place everybody is talking about and how beautiful it is and yes, it's true!
At this very moment I'm literally lying under palm trees writing this post while the sea is only a few meters from my feet. My body and mind has not been feeling this good in years. Immediately when we arrived to the hotel, my mother wanted to book our divings. Tomorrow it stars. We will be diving twice a day for 5 days. So basically we won't do much else but diving and enjoying our holiday. I guess I need to find a friend or two so I can experience the nightlife here, or maybe I could do an adventure and go by myself!
