El Nido was beautiful!! Sorry to sound like a travel brochure but if any of you ever have a chance to go, don't hesitate for a moment! We loved it. We loved it from the moment we boarded our tiny little airplane. We got front row seats, which meant right behind the pilot and the co-pilot! There was no door or anything between us and the cockpit, so we could watch the take-off and landing. Guido even took a video if it (we'll post it later). 75 minutes later we landed on a dirt airstrip, greeted by a small singing group of islanders and met by Ace, a guy from the Art Cafe, a little place in El Nido by Judith, a (tough) Swiss expat and her Filipino husband. They organised everything, from the airport pickup to accommodation, island hopping tours and our tickets back.

Our cottage was very very basic, but cute and directly on the beach. From there, we could easily get into and around town . The first two days, we spent cruising through spectacular limestone islands, snorkeling, swimming, relaxing and eating on the beach. We saw lots of fish and even a couple of sea turtles. On our third and unfortunately already last day, we rented a kayak and paddled to the nearest island from El Nido, where we found our own private beach!! Yay! And finally, we were taken on a gorgeous sunset cruise. Lovely stuff.

Here's some pictures :)

P.S. Sorry there aren't many pics(the internet is expensive where we are right now), but more will come soon!
