[natalie8]

Arriving in the town





Jun, my driver up ahead, leading me to my lunch spot



Ahhhhhh, yes

I took a walk along the beach. I had to get a shot of Habibi Restaurant and Shisha Bar.

Palawan has karsts, the same as Krabi area



This place was cute. It had burgers...



...and vegetarian



We made a pit stop for a drink and an early dinner. My coconut was huge!

[natalie8]

I spotted this man and his dog paddling in.













So that's it for El Nido. My next pics will be of Manila and Angeles City, but tomorrow. Enjoy.

Great thread, Natalie. One month on and I will be playing and diving in Bohol and the Visayas.

Bet you don't want to leave.

[natalie8]

Thanks crocman. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Beautiful, Nat

It was very much both. Another thing I hadn't commented on was that not once did people try to rip me off. In fact, I was given a refund for the difference in my room rate at Natua's Cabin and the van drivers and tricycle drivers also gave me a reduced rate after talking to my tricycle drivers, and Jun gave me my ride to the bus and van terminal (at 4:30 AM) for free.

^^ Thanks, NR. It really was.

Great pics and info Natalie. Thanks for sharing. I need a vacation as 6 years in LOS has become too routine. Your thread has spared an interest. Waiting with baited breath for the next installment of pics.

[natalie8]

Thanks, BW. My next set is from Manila and Angeles City, so I was thinking of starting a separate thread for those, and not ruining this one, 555.

The pics just got better and better Nat. the revolving wooden restraunt I discovered was on one of the Puerta Galera Islands which have great WW2 diving sites as well as quiet beaches, rainforests with creeks etc. I often travelled by myself and was invited along with a young Danish couple in the same appartments to go in a bunka boat around to another secluded bay where we were taken to the old wooden restraunt that revolved around a huge wooden shaft the whole time. It had a stairwell that circled the wooden shart to a tabled room near the top that had large open windows to sit by as it slowly chugged its way from sea views to rainforest. It was a fantastic evening we shared....enchanting really....just another adventure on one of the islands of the Phils.....wish I still had pics to put on here but sadly.....that is another story ......Well done again NaT

Thanks, Terry. Do you have a foot fetish?

[natalie8]

Thanks, LC.

ossierob, thanks for the compliments. The revolving restaurants sound really amazing. I'll have to go check them out on my return.

I think I'll only have a chance to post the rest of my pics on Monday.

Great stuff Natalie. Reminds me that it's time to go back. Best place I've been in Asia !I want to spend some time at Coron & Kayangan Lake this time. Missed out because the seas were too rough & they cancelled the boat.

[natalie8]

Thanks, wacky. I think you should go back!
