Today
I was woken at 6am by the sound of the waves, people working on their
boats, two roosters and the sun streaming in our window. Any other
place this wouldn't have been so bad, but the electricity on the
island went out, which happens one or two times a day. That being said, our room
was super hot with no way to cool it down but opening the windows,
which didn't help with the heat... or the noise.
After
going back to sleep for a few noisy, hot hours, we decided to change
guesthouses, hoping for a room out of direct morning sunlight and
noisy fisherman. We moved down the road to a cute little place,
still beach front, with room names wisdom, charity, love, hope,
harmony and strength. Guess which room was the only available
room... love, go figure. So we dropped off our stuff, grabbed some
breakfast on the beautiful terrace overlooking the water, the beauty
was overwhelming.
We
headed out touring the town a bit, then took a car to a quieter beach
about 10 minutes away. We walked about 5 minutes through the jungle,
then came to the opening of this beautiful beach with crystal clear
water and only a few people there. Just what we were looking for.
We
hung out there for most of the day taking dips, sitting under the
palm trees, and going for walks, then headed back into El Nido. We
grabbed some fresh mango shakes and went back to our place. When we
got back the electricity was out again on the island, so we hung out
on our terrace, listened to the waves and watched the sunset.
We
got some Filipino red horse beers, played cards, then went out for a walk and
dinner. When we got back we hung out on our terrace, where there are what they call, "nests," like bird nests overlooking the water and right under the stars. Super chill and relaxing.
