Few days after the El Nido trip with my buddies from college, I was out on the road again. This would be my last out of town for this month, and for the entire summer season of this year. I know it’s just two trips, but I feel that it really exhausted me physically. Seems like I’m not a wanderlust at all, huh? I never said I was, though. I just enjoy going out on trips occasionally, that’s all.
Just got back from our annual beach trip, out of town, with my college friends. This year our destination was El Nido, Palawan. That’s after Cebu, Bohol, Boracay (unfortunately I didn’t get to join them). We’re slowly going around the Philippines, y’all! 😆
I only have seen Palawan, or its more popular destination, El Nido, in photos relating to Philippine tourism. I’ve always thought it’s impossible to go there. Well, a few years later, here we are!
It is as good as it is portrayed in photos, or in some videos (be it for a movie, or TV show featuring the place) but one thing is for sure: It is MUCH better seen in real life than in photos.
Not my usual TLDR post, nor it’s going to be as detailed.. but that’s what other serious travel blogs are for. 😉
Before I spoil you with photos that will hopefully convince you to head to a local airline website to book your future trip to this huh-mazing destination…. here’s some fun facts and whatnots from my experience, after the cut!
Right after we checkout from the beach, we jumped in the van to complete the rest of our day tour around Bohol. The thing is we haven’t had a decent meal since that morning during the island hopping tour. We were looking for a place to eat, and while the driver slash tour guide wasn’t very helpful with recommending us affordable places to eat (he kept showing us the expensive beaches along Panglao as we passed by), we somehow ended up in Loboc.. to the Rivercruise Floating Resto.
Loboc Rivercruise and Floating Restaurant
Initial fees: PHP 350 fee for the cruise and lunch buffet, PHP 100 for the entrance. A total of PHP 450/head and you can now join the group for a lunch buffet inside the boat for an hour and a half (or two?). Gonna be an afternoon of singing, eating and enjoying the spectacular views along the river. 🙂
