Sunset at the beach villa
March 7, 2019 on the Philippines ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Named the sunset villa, it's no surprise as colours of orange, yellows and reds stream across the blue horizon shaded by palm tree's.

Walking along the beach and up a nearby hill barefoot was no joke as sharp and rocky walkways made the climb very memorable for obvious ouchy reasons.

Stumbling to the peak to find that ideal spot for instagram pic, we had a selection of sunset views overlooking the sea to the left or rice fields to the right.

On way down, I was praying for a zipline but had to man up. Luckily a hammock with perfect view supplied much needed relief.Read more

Black Island boat trip
March 7, 2019 on the Philippines ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Our adopted island mother, organized us to visit a "secluded island" for white sands blue water experience. She even prepared us a take away picknick lunch.

An unexpected pricey expedition and noisy boat ride towards the black island. But yes this islands beach is as they say, although we thought that it was "secluded". Nonetheless, swimming in turquoise baby blue waters and sunbathing on white sands, was it worth it? uhmm maybe not after seeing some spectacular sights few days prior but had fun playing with the go pro.Read more

Ocamocam beach
March 7, 2019 on the Philippines ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
The discovery did not stop as we stumble upon this cute little village in ocamocam.

Riding a gravely road and then meeting a friendly local lady. She immediately adopted us by providing food, drink and accommodation for a price of cause.
Walking around, meeting and talking to the locals at ocamocam was so humbling as there's this different way they look at you. The feeling is hard to describe but rather a feeling to experience.Read more

Getting a scooter on!
Couple u and take an adventurous ride up the coast to destinations unknown.

Having to make a few pit stops along the way to stretch aching legs and glutes and ofcause some photos.

It's handy having small snack stalls along the way as cold water is an necessity.

After discovery of a private beach, we decided to investigate and cool down with a swim.

Back on the road and drive into a village called salvacion, where we met amazing locals, spectating some basketball and just soaking the moment.Read more

Arriving by ferry.
Greeted by a crowed of eager taxi and tricycle drivers, we had to wrestle our way through to find a quiet spot to think, plan and order some food.

Checking into the mad monkey hostel, we could replenish with cold beers, refresh with cold showers and get ready to explore the town.
Booked another island hopping experience, let's get the snorkeling gear ready.

By booking the super ultimate tour package, we were able to visit and witness some amazing snorkling spots such as the Kayangan Lake, Siete Pecados Marine Park and the Twin Lagoons.Read more

Sunrise and Ferry day.
March 4, 2019 on the Philippines ⋅ 🌙 23 °C
After hearing about a view point overlooking the whole of el nido by other travellers, we had to see this for ourselves.
By negotiating with our boat skipper from previous day, he had agreed to show us this so called dangerous but beautiful view point.

Meeting him 5am the morning, he had this grin and laughed while asking us if we're semi fit for what's about to come. Not thinking it could be that hard, we were handed gloves and proceeded walking through narrow zigzag passages, greeted by early morning foul stench of external toilets and leaky pipes.
Reaching the sumit of the limestone mountain in pitch darkness, we started our elevation before the sun breaks the horizon.
Jagged and loose rock edges, perspiration from everywhere and torn gloves was all worth it when we finally reached the peak.

In cases like these, photos can't capture the beauty and awe.Read more

Island hopping day.
March 3, 2019 on the Philippines
Booked a boat tour for the el nido islands.

Our day included 4 stops starting with the Secret Lagoon, a secret world hidden in the jagged rock walls.
Continued on to Shimizu Island, a gorgeous beach with crystal-clear waters.
Fillowed by Seven Commandos Beach, lined with coconut trees and pure white sand. This is where we had our lunch of barbecue pork, chicken, and seafood, as well as vegetable salad and fresh fruits. Worked up a sweat by playing some beach volleyball.
After some scars and bruises, our last stop was the Big Lagoon. Here we rented kayaks and explored these amazing limestone mountains and cliffs.

Now what will a day be without some backflips and acrobatic dives.Read more

Nacpan, you beauty!
March 2, 2019 on the Philippines
First full day of exploring.
Hire some scooters, and hit the road.
First stop nacpan beach, early bird catches the worm - or rather open beautiful beach.
Nacpan beach is by far one of the most beautiful beaches I've seen. Pristine waters, awesome tanning beach, great activities and such a great beach bar.
Of to duli beach - not a big hype as nacpan and definitely less touristy. Supposedly to be the surfing beach, yet no waves. But still a great beach. (P.S. watch the beach dog, they will eat your food if you turn your back)Read more

Exploring the local reserve.
February 27, 2019 on the Philippines ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Booking a grap taxi route bound to central town, but rather negotiate for a one way drop of to the distant Masungi reserve.
Dropped of at the gate after 2 hours stuck in traffic, we are greeted with smiles and friends staff.
Our safety induction was lost in translation but in the lines of "follow your guide, keep your helmet on and stay on the path".
My expectations was high as I thought this tour will include some obstacles climbing or heart stoping trekking. But rather it was a change of gears, with beautiful landscapes and well maintained walkways, making for easy access.

Our lunch was well received with a iced towel, friend bananas and cinnamon dip, tuna sandwiches and delicious fruit juice.Read more
