Explore the Majesty of El Nido

If you have been following my blog for awhile now, you know that I've written about Palawan and how it topped my places to go in the Philippines.  Well, let me just direct you specifically to El Nido, because it is where most of the magic is.  Now I haven't had much pictures on the islands because I was too happy to just immersed myself in paradise, trying to sink my teeth real deep in the experience of just being alive.

Good thing my fellow travelers have done the documentation so you could see just how much of a heaven El Nido is.

Here is a map of El Nido's Island hopping tours:

Before going any further, let me take it upon myself to make your experience better.  This post is best enjoyed with this played on the background.

You are about to witness Philippine's finest islands, one of the best islands in the world.

With great Filipina pride, I introduce to you

El Nido

Enjoy!

Now that we're all warmed up...

Let's start the tours, shall we?

I know, it's only the beginning my friends... 
brace yourselves

Tour A

Miniloc Island

Small Lagoon

Big Lagoon

                                   Simisu Island - THE fish island.

A fellow traveler, working her way into the entrance.  Yes my friend, you heard me right.  The Entrance --- nothing but a measly hole in the wall.

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

How do I get better
Once I've had the best

Katy Perry's 'Thinking of You' completely resounds what I feel now.

I'll never recover from the magic.

 What can I say.   Once you had a taste of perfection, you would never be the same again.  Everything is second to none.

El Nido had put a permanent spell on me.  

I must return to that paradise and fulfill one of my dreams : to do free diving.  And then El Nido will have a mermaid in the form of me - a pretty mermaid on that note... hehehe

Until then, I'll keep on dreaming about it.
