El Nido is a very small town located on the northern tip of Palawan, Philippines. It was a great time of R&R, following our 44.5 hour door to door trip to the Philippines. One of the quaint things of rural Palawan is the unique experience of having electricity only from 4PM-6AM. The worst thing about this however was the fact that these times were when our jet-lagged bodies were craving sleep.
From El Nido we traveled South with our friends Beng and Lilet to visit the Philippine Underground River, one of the heritage sites in the Philippines and reputed to be the longest in the world. More to my liking was the canoe ride into a Mangrove forest to see snakes, monitor lizards and monkeys.
Finally we ended up in Puerto Princesa and met some new friends and toured some other sites. Most important was the bonding time with Beng and Lilet. It never grows old hearing stories and growing a deeper friendship with godly women and missionaries.
Now the work will begin.
