Boracay to Palawan

Today we grabbed breakfast, then took the local boat from Boracay to Caticalan, then took the hour and a half shuttle back to the Kalibo airport. From there we flew about an 1 hour and 15 minutes to Manila airport, had a very short layover and took another 1 hour and 15 minute flight to the island of Palawan, flying into Puerto Princesa. From there we had a a short ride to our stay, and then we headed out to a Filipino restaurant called Kinabucks Grill, on Rizal Avenue.

I got the sizzling tuna, that had stir fried bits of tuna in a rich sauce, and Adrienne had grilled goat, with stewed potatoes and garlic rice. Both meals were delicious. After a few glasses of South African wine, we headed back, to rise bright and early to take a shuttle to El Nido.

This morning we grabbed a Filipino breakfast called tosilog, which was beef, egg and fried garlic rice. Then we headed out for the 5 hour crowded shuttle bus ride to El Nido. We found a place to stay right on the water, and watched the sunset and listened to the waves a bit before heading out to dinner on the beach where we enjoyed some red horse "extra strong," Filipino beer.
