Arrival at El Nido

The flight took about an hour and fifteen minutes. A clear and vivid blue sky greeted us as we got off the plane. The weather was perfect!

We were welcomed by a group of women who were singing folk songs as we walked towards the terminal. Unlike other terminals, the El Nido airport has this spacious open hut that serves as the waiting/boarding area. The crew provided snacks and refreshments while each guest was attended by an El Nido Resorts activities coordinator. 

Take nothing but photographs. 

Leave nothing but footprints. 

Bring nothing but memories. 

Kill nothing but time.

while waiting, robbie and i took photos of the carabao. (walang ganyan sa AU :P)

Here's Maricon, our activities coordinator. We're very fortunate she was the one that got assigned to us. :) She helped us choose the best activities to maximize our stay. She would then update us regarding our next planned activities every time we walk pass by her in the resort and she'd always greet us with a warm smile. 

A few minutes later, we were loaded to a super jeepney. I call it super because of its enormous size. It was like a mini bus. I think they designed it like that because foreigners in general are really tall. hehehe..

bungisngis! can't remember what i was laughing about. =P

After what seemed like a very short couple of minutes, we arrived at the wooden bridge off the port.

We rode on a motor boat first because the water at the end of the bridge was still shallow and then we transferred to the bigger boat. We were entertained by one of the tour guide's many stories about El Nido. Thank you kuya for taking our pictures! Yup, he knows how to use an slr. *clap clap!* I forgot his name though.. :(

all smiles!
