Philippines – Palawan, El Nido to Coron
04/04/18 We woke up around 4am to check out and wait for our bus to take us to El Nido port, and annoyingly our bus stopped at another guest house just moments down the beach and so we waited an additional 30minutes.

Philippines – Palawan, Nacpan beach
03/04/18 We'd managed to score a couple more nights at Tapik, and have them book our fast ferry to Coron and organise transport to the ferry port.
