Unbelievably, this photo was used years later on a website promoting the beauty of PalawanĪfter that, all the islands blended into one as we stopped off at many and did lots and lots of snorkelling, and inevitably I ended up burning my back despite applying sun lotion! At one of the later islands I was treated to some unbelievable Filipino hospitality on a big boat. The sea was a lovely turquoise colour and was to be our first area for snorkelling. It was fantastic weather on the snorkelling tour which took us on a boat tour around many islands with the main one being Matinloc Island featuring the beautiful Secret Beach which was actually not so secret at all as it was in the guidebooks. Not surprisingly we changed places after that with me going to a hut with splendid views of the Bacuit Bay. I woke up the next morning to what sounded like Noahs Ark outside! In reality it was just a pig chained up behind my abode. Still, it was only P300 (just over £3) for the night though probably the most basic of all the accommodation I’ve ever stayed in and that’s saying something! On arrival the only available accommodation belonged to a man who looked put-out when we showed up offering him money to stay at his place. Our bus was thankfully a little bit better than this one at the station!Īfter taking a cramped bus to Taytay, the Belgians and I decided to just negotiate a price with a driver to continue for an extra couple of hours to our intended destination of El Nido in north-west Palawan.
