I had never been on a cruise ship before. I’m not even sure if I had seen one before. I had been on a ferry a number of times but many of them were short trips. I had spent a couple of days on a ferry once, when I was young, to general Santos City but there was nothing remotely elegant about the trip. We did not even have a personal cabin and there was nothing I could do but watch the horizon. A cruise ship complete with home entertainment facilities and buffet dining? Nah, never experienced it before. It was also my very first time in Malaysia. That’s why this trip is so special for me. It provided me many very first times. I was beyond thrilled.

Boarding the cruise Ship

When the clock hit 4pm, all of us gathered at the HarbourFront Centre. While some blog writers had just completed hours of buying at VivoCity, Winston and I came from a brief go to to books Kinokinuya in Orchard Road. We shown up just in time to inspect in our baggage.

After providing us our baggage claim stubs, we proceeded upstairs to line up for boarding. It was a long queue. thanks to my iPod and blog writer friends, I was saved from boredom. When we reached the end of the queue, we approached the immigration Counters and our passports were stamped. (Yass! another stamp!)

Afterwards, we walked all the method to the ship’s entrance. We had a few photo-ops with star Cruises’ mascot’s along the way. before stepping into the ship, our passports were collected. We would not see our passports in the next couple of days.

The cruise Card

I phone call it “the cruise Card” but I don’t understand what it is called really. It serves as your ID and passport while on the ship. It appears like your regular credit report card and it acts like it, too. On the cruise, we didn’t have to whip out cash. All we needed to do was flash this card and we were good. everything we would purchase or pay for would be charged to this card, to be settled before leaving the ship. Thankfully, everything we needed was included in the Airphil express bundle so I did not spend anything on the cruise.

The Cabin: Compact but Clever

The space assigned to us was an ocean view Stateroom on the 5th level. As the name suggests, it has a window and provides a view of the outside. The outside being the ocean most of the time. ΧΑΧΑΧΑ.

There were four of us sharing the room. The moment I went into the room, I wondered exactly how four people could in shape as there were only 2 single beds. It was such a relief when we found that there was a pull-over bed on one side of the space and that the sofa sitting in one corner could magically transform into a bed. It was very, extremely clever! The space was arranged in such a method that could fit as much as 4 people comfortably even within the restricted space.

One of the very first things that I did when I went into our cabin was inspect the restrom. Ηταν φανταστικο. like the room, it was compact but set up in a wise way. The sink was at the center and the very first to greet the user. To the left was the toilet which makes this scarily loud flush. It was like a truly loud gulp and I felt like I’d be taken to another dimension via the toilet in an instant. (I have a vivid and rather ridiculous imagination.) and to the right was the restroom equipped with hot/cold shower.

Oh, by the way, there was cable television TV with a number of channels although none of us in the space were interested to utilize it. all of us were seldom in the room. We were just there to sleep because there was so much — SO much — that we could do outside. but there were 10 channels or so including HBO. Ομορφη.

The only issue I encountered was that there were only a couple of outlets and there were four of us sharing a room. all of us had phones, cameras and iPods. We had to take turns.

The Amenities

What blew us away was the number of amenities inside the ship. It’s a floating hotel! A StarCruises policeman offered to provide us a tour of the ship and show us around to take a look at the facilities on board.

The Grand Piazza. After freshening up, we left the space and took the elevator to the Grand Piazza on the 7th floor. The Grand Piazza is the ship’s primary lobby where events are held and where the primary reception desk is located. The primary reception desk is like the traveler central coz this is where you avail of the a number of tours they offer, where they can assist you with your concerns, and where you inspect out.

On the other side of the piazza was a stage with a statue of three horses. around the piazza were a number of establishments — restaurants, shops, and more. On our second night on the ship, the pre-pageant for miss Resorts world Manila was held at the Grand Piazza.

The Parthenon Pool. Στην κορυφήmost level lies an outside swimming pool called the Parthenon Pool. This was where we would go whenever we felt tired and wished to take a great look of the islands. aside from the fact that it’s extremely near the Mediterranean Buffet (which I liked so much but that’s for another post), it also offers an incredible view of the ship and from the ship. There were also jacuzzi units right here but we never tried utilizing them.

On our very first night, there was Barbeque Buffet and it was a great experience. There was also a bar on the upper deck of the area.

The universal fitness center and health and wellness Club. This surprised me. I didn’t believe there’d be a fitness center on board. Although I never had the intention to utilize it, I still believe that it was a great feature. In fact, a few of our companions utilized it on our very first morning on board. They also have Aquaswim here, which is a jet current exercise pool.

Η βιβλιοθήκη. another thing I didn’t expect to see inside a cruise ship. I was expecting casinos and theaters and a ton of restaurants but NOT a library. but I super liked the idea! They even had chairs by the window. staying right here was extremely relaxing and it was an oasis amidst the extremely busy activities outside. They have wi-fi right here but I didn’t catch the rates.

Other Facilities. There so many other amenities that this ship offers. They even have a Mahjong Room! They have salons, computer centers, video arcade, child care center, and many others. On my next post, I will talk about the food and home entertainment on board. The ship also homes all kind of restaurants offering worldwide cuisines! They also have a theater.

Photography is not enabled when the show is on so I have no pics of the performances, just the stage. ΧΑΧΑΧΑ.
Dining

Τρώει. most likely my favorite activity in the world. and it’s even more enjoyable on cruise! On board the SuperStar Virgo from Singapore to Port Klang, Malaysia, I discovered myself eating most of the time! To hell with my tummy, I would enjoy the many gastronomic delights aboard this lovely cruise ship!

SuperStar Virgo homes a number of restaurants serving a range of worldwide cuisines. From fine dining to buffet restos, you’ll find something that caters to your taste. The Airphil express Fly and Sail bundle includes free meals from three restaurants — Bella Vista (international), Mediterranean Buffet (halal certified), and The pavilion (Chinese). This means that you won’t be charged if you eat at any of these three restaurants.

It was Barbeque night on our very first night on the cruise and they set up a barbeque buffet by the pool! Φοβερός! perfect for gluttons like me! among the many dishes were grilled beef, squid, and sausages, and steamed corn among others. dessert and soup were also overflowing; it was indeed a pig-out moment for me. ΧΑΧΑΧΑ. For a moment, I declared that day (and the next 2 days) my cheat days from my non-existent weight-loss diet.

Barbeque buffet! #Βαφή
When we shown up from the tour the next day, we headed to the Bella Vista for dinner. There was a dress code (smart casual/semi-formal). They served a five-course dinner, which was part of the package. right here are some snapshots of what I had for dinner that night!

Salmon (main course), Greek salad (appetizer), and Cheese and biscuits (dessert). Sorry about the high quality of the photos. It was a bit dark inside the restaurant.
Aside from the Mediterranean Buffet and Terrace, the Pavilion, and Bella Vista, here’s a listing of the other restaurants on board.

Noble home (Chinese cuisine, fine dining)

The Taj (Indian buffet – halal)

Samurai restaurant (Japanese food)

Blue Lagoon (Southeast Asian food)

Palazzo (Italian combination restaurant)

The Taverna (Snack bar)

Bellini (Liquor bar)

Café Gelato (desserts!)

I can’t state anything about them coz I wasn’t able to try what they had to offer.

There was a charm pageant happening at the Grand Piazza — miss Resorts world Manila. but since we weren’t into pageants, Hannah, Winston, Marcos and I selected to return to the Lido movie theater for another free show. This time, it was a magic-slash-comedy-slash-magic show. It was cool. especially when Philipart, the magician-slash-comedian-slash-singer-slash-host was enabled us to have a short photo-op with him. :ΡΕ

After the show, we returned to Mediterranean Buffet for supper (midnight snack). Again, the meal was part of the bundle so we weren’t charged extra for this.

With a paper plate of chocolate-banana chocolat banane waffle in one hand, I surveyed the park for a vacant seat and found one punctuating a grove of manicured trees. Sweet, I whispered as I pulled a chair and settled. The scene was just as cliché as I imagined, but, heck, I was loving it. I was enjoying waffles in one corner of the Tuileries garden and listening to Lana del Rey while keeping my eyes on that pointy metal structure that poked the Parisian sky — the Eiffel Tower.

View of the Eiffel Tower from one edge of the Tuileries Garden
But the world-famous landmark would have to wait at that point. It was my first day in Paris, and the tower was not yet part of the plan. That afternoon was reserved for Champs-Élysées, ending here at the Tuileries Garden. just in front of me was place de la Concorde, Paris’s largest public square. The place is serene now. Over 200 years ago, however, it was the site of one of the most important events in French history. This was where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were executed by guillotine. Today, the only commotion that occurs here is that of tourists finding a good spot for a quick rest after hours of sightseeing.

My walk began at the other end of Champs-Élysées, a 1.9-km long boulevard that connects place de la Concorde and place Charles de Gaulle. A stroll along the famed avenue introduces many of the city’s most popular tourist spots. here are some of them.

1. Arc de Triomphe

Arc de Triomphe has its own metro station called Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile, making it an optimal start of a walking tour. Smack at the center of place Charles de Gaulle in the 8th arrondissement, it enables a terrific view of Champs-Élysées.

Looks small but…
Voila. It’s a pretty colossal structure.
The Arc is one of the most iconic monuments in Paris. Erected between 1806 and 1836, it was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte after the victory at Austerlitz and was designed by Jean Chalgrin in honor of those who fought at the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. names of generals and all French victories are inscribed on the structure.

I had a foolish impression before coming here that the arc was small (I don’t know why) and was, thus, surprised to be greeted by a Neoclassical mammoth. It measures 50 meters in height, 45 meters in length, and 22 meters in width.

2. Champs-Élysées

The boulevard itself is worth a look. Each year, it plays host to many Bastille Day (July 14) events including a military parade. On regular days, it boasts rectangular groves that fringe a maze of retail shops, theaters, and restaurants.

Champs Elysees is one busy road.
Pavement restaurants amid tree groves
Champs Elysees is flanked by fashion shops and boutiques.
So tempted to just run around and disturb their peace, haha
There was a time when Champs-Élysées was just a flat shade of green on the map: fields and gardens. The initial plan, made by André Le Nôtre in 1667, pegged the site to be just an extension of the nearby Tuileries Garden. Over centuries, it has evolved into one of the most famous and most fashionable streets in the world.

3. fashion Stores

The area has become synonymous with shopping. shopping has been ingrained in its history, starting in 1860 when the merchants along the boulevard established an association. now called Comité Champs-Élysées, “it is the oldest standing committee in Paris,” according to my good pal Wikipedia.

Flagship store of Louis Vuitton
Popular brands and luxury labels are all here, including the flagship store of Louis Vuitton, which stands proudly on the southern side of the road.

4. Grand Palais

Another important historic site along Champs-Élysées is the Grand Palais, a “monument dedicated by the Republic to the glory of French art.” The grand, imposing structure edifice houses an exhibition hall and a museum complex. The Beaux-Arts beauty also serves as the venue for many of Chanel’s fashion shows.

As viewed from Champs Elysees
Built in 1897, the palace wears a blend of classical and Art Nouveau designs, most evident in its stone facade and ironwork, as well as in its grand staircase. the most appealing are its glass barrel-vaulted roofs, framed by light steel, allowing natural light in.

Just across the Grand Palais is the Petit Palais.

5. Jardins des Champs-Élysées

At this point, you’ll probably be exhausted from all the hours of walking. fret not! beyond the groves of trees that line the avenue are pockets of greens, perfect for a brief rest. Some statues and fountains adorn the gardens. but you might want to spend a few euros on a serving of crepe from the unassuming stalls that hide under the foliage.

Ζήλια.

6. Τοποθετήστε το de la concorde

Η μεγαλύτερη δημόσια πλατεία στο Παρίσι, ο τόπος de la Concorde εκτείνεται 8.64 εκτάρια στο ανατολικό άκρο των Champs-élysées. Το πιο σημαντικό χαρακτηριστικό του: ο οβελίσκος του Λούξορ, ένα γιγαντιαίο αιγυπτιακό μνημείο σχήματος βελόνας στο κέντρο του χώρου. Ο Οβελίσκος πλαισιώνεται από το Fontaines de la Concorde, σχεδιασμένο από τον Jacques Ignace Hittorff. Όμως, ο ίδιος ο τόπος ήταν ο Ange-Jacques Gabriel το 1755 προς τιμήν του βασιλιά Louis XV.

Ο Οβελίσκος του Λούξορ
Στο ύψος της Γαλλικής Επανάστασης, η πλατεία δόθηκε με ένα νέο όνομα: εύστοχα, “Place de la Révolution”. Ήταν εδώ που η γκιλοτίνα θα έληξε τη βασιλεία (και τη ζωή) του βασιλιά Louis XVI στις 21 Ιανουαρίου 1793.

7. Tuileries Garden

Ακριβώς ανατολικά του τόπου de la Concorde βρίσκεται το Jardin des Tuileries, μόλις ο κήπος ενός βασιλικού παλατιού που άνοιξε στο κοινό μετά τη Γαλλική Επανάσταση. Η κατασκευή του Ιταλικού Αναγεννησιακού Κήπου διατάχθηκε από τη βασίλισσα Catherine de Medicis το 1564, μετά το θάνατο του συζύγου της, του βασιλιά Henry II. Έγραψε τη βοήθεια του Bernard de Carnesse, αρχιτέκτονα από τη Φλωρεντία. Έχει δει αρκετούς επανασχεδιασμούς κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων, καθώς η ιδιοκτησία του χώρου μεταβιβάστηκε από έναν κυβερνήτη σε άλλο.

Σήμερα, το Tuileries Garden είναι ένα διάσημο τουριστικό σημείο και δημόσιο πάρκο. Το κεντρικό του κομμάτι είναι μια οκταγωνική λεκάνη, μια συνειδητοποίηση του αρχιτέκτονα του τοπίου André Le Nôtre.

8. Το Λούβρο

Περπατήστε κατ ‘ευθείαν στον κήπο και θα βρείτε τον εαυτό σας να θαυμάζετε το Λούβρο, το Μουσείο Τέχνης που επισκέπτεται τον κόσμο, προσελκύοντας πάνω από 9,7 εκατομμύρια επισκέπτες το χρόνο, καθώς και ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα, καλύπτοντας μια περιοχή άνω των 60.000 τετραγωνικών μέτρων. Τα καταφύγια μουσείων και παρουσιάζουν περίπου 35.000 κομμάτια, τα πιο διάσημα από τα οποία είναι ίσως η Mona Lisa από τον Leonardo da Vinci.

Το Λούβρο είναι ανοιχτό από την Τετάρτη έως τη Δευτέρα, 9 π.μ.-6μμ (κλειστή την Τρίτη), αλλά προσπαθήστε να ελέγξετε την Τετάρτη ή την Παρασκευή, όταν οι ώρες λειτουργίας επεκτείνονται μέχρι τις 9:45 μ.μ., δίνοντάς σας περισσότερο χρόνο για να εξερευνήσετε περισσότερα δωμάτια και δείτε Περισσότερα κομμάτια.

Θα γράφω για το χρόνο μου μέσα στο Λούβρο σε ξεχωριστή θέση. μείνετε συντονισμένοι! 🙂

“How do you do on boats?”

“I like ’em,” I stated gripping the seat of the airplane tightly.

“Well, just photo turbulence as waves you can’t see,” the pilot stated with a laugh.

“I understand turbulence can’t take down a plane, however that doesn’t make this any type of much more comfortable,” I retorted with a glare.

The airplane jolted as we passed some high mountains. None of the other passengers seemed to notice, however I cringed with the look of somebody who just got a thousand needles stuck in his arm.

“If something goes wrong here, we just autumn as well as die! That’s just where my mind goes!”

The pilot looked at me, laughed again, as well as went back to speaking to the other passengers.

I was in a tiny, six-seater seaplane three thousand feet above skeptical Sound. Fiordland is found in the southwesternmost part of new Zealand as well as house to various Lord of the Rings film locations, the region is thought about one of the country’s many beautiful as well as remote areas.

Filled with enormous mountains, deep lakes, swelling rivers, untamed forests, as well as resplendent fjords, many of it has never been set upon by man. save a few locations where boats as well as planes can go, the government has made the land off-limits, ensuring that that will be the situation for a long time to come.

The day before, I had had the bright concept of seeing skeptical noise on a quick one-hour flight instead of a full-day bus/boat ride. I was running low on schedule and, in spite of my worry of heights as well as flying, I might only believe of saving time as well as the views that I’d see.

Yet, as the teeny airplane bounced around, the concept no longer seemed so bright.

Days earlier, I had hitched a trip to the area with Karin, a Swedish woman I’d satisfied in Wanaka. After a few days partying in Queenstown, we had driven down to the region’s introducing pad, Te Anau, a little town of barely a few hundred people on a lake. It’s the gateway for tourists who concerned camp, hike the Kepler Track as well as Milford noise trail, as well as see the area’s two most significant attractions: Milford noise as well as skeptical Sound.

Karin as well as I drove as much as Milford noise for the day. On the way, we passed huge granite mountains, crystal-clear blue rivers, as well as roaring waterfalls. sheer cliffs increased above us as we complied with the road to the sound. small lakes dotted the way, as well as hiking tracks — a few of the country’s “Great Walks” — crisscrossed the area.

This was wild new Zealand, where cellphone service didn’t exist, you had to camp, and, to quote Doc Brown, “you don’t requirement roads.” You came right here for one reason: to getaway city life.

On our two-hour cruise on Milford noise to the edge of the Tasman Sea as well as back again, water from the recent rains rushed in a torrent off the sides of the fjord, ice-covered the tops of the mountains, as well as seals frolicked nearby. It was a clear, bright, sunny day, the kind that makes you feel like you got the luckiest card in the traveler’s deck.

The next day, Karin left however I stayed on to keep exploring. I headed to Wings as well as Water, a little seaplane business run by Jim, a hard-nosed pilot who had a great deal to state about the specify of contemporary pilot training as well as airplane safety. He spouted off about the nanny specify as well as government policy not letting pilots be pilots, business outsourcing maintenance, the overreliance on computers as well as technology, as well as pilots not choosing their digestive tracts enough.

“There’s not sufficient experience out there. A computer isn’t going to save you.”

He had strong opinions on every subject.

We headed to the airplane to greet the other passengers.

“Matt is scared of flying, however we’ll make him a man,” he stated to the two other couples waiting to board our flight, slapping my back as he went to do one more security inspect on the plane.

I already regretted discussing my worry of flying.

With a sputter of the engine, we coasted on the water as well as ascended smoothly into the air. Now, below us, the huge Lake Te Anau as well as mountains were splayed out over the landscape. There were lakes leaking down the sides of mountains, patches of ice dotting inaccessible mountaintops, as well as sheer, gray cliffs with trees seemingly hanging on by a root, prepared to slide off at a moment’s notice. We weaved so carefully around the mountains I felt I might touch them.

As the clouds rolled in, I ended up being nervous. With clouds came wind as well as choppier air.

“How do you understand when to turn back? like is there a point when you go, ‘OK, time to go!’?”

“You just understand from experience,” Jim replied.

“What occurs if the weather condition worsens?”

“Well, you see those huge bodies of water down there?”

“Ναι…”

“Well, we’re inένα υδροπλάνο. Είχα απλώς προσγειωθεί το αεροπλάνο στο νερό καθώς και να το περιμένω “, απάντησε πραγματικά,” αλλά μην ανησυχείτε. Αυτό δεν συνέβη ποτέ. ”

“Τα αεροπλάνα”, συνέχισε, “είναι ισχυρότερα από τους ανθρώπους. Θα σπάσετε πριν από αυτό το βρέφος. ”

Κόβουμε με τα σύννεφα καθώς και ένα βρόχο γύρω από τους πτώσεις του Browne, το ψηλότερο νεροτσουλήθρα του κόσμου (αφού το νερό τεχνικά πάντα αγγίζει το έδαφος, δεν ήταν καταρράκτη), με τον οποίο ο καταρράκτης έριξε αδιάκοπα από μια μεγάλη πισίνα Σε ένα άγχος του βουνού.

Καθώς προσγειώσαμε πίσω στο Te Anau καθώς και τραβούσε την αποβάθρα, ο Jim με κοίταξε. «Δεν είναι τόσο άσχημα, ε;»

“Όχι, όχι τόσο άσχημα, όμως αυτό δεν τροποποίησε την άποψή μου για πτήση.”

Την επόμενη μέρα, καθώς έπιασα το λεωφορείο νωρίς το πρωί, είδα τον ουρανό να γυρίσει ένα ροζ καθώς ο ήλιος αυξήθηκε. Ήμουν χαρούμενος που, σε αντίθεση με την τελευταία μου επίσκεψη, δεν αποφύγω αυτήν την περιοχή. Ακριβώς εδώ σε αυτή την πόλη στην άκρη της Νέας Ζηλανδίας, όπου οι τουρίστες ξεπέρασαν τους ντόπιους, υπήρχε λίγο άλλο για να κάνει, ωστόσο, να απολαύσετε τη φύση. Η περιοχή απομάκρυνε τις περισπασμούς τόσο χαρακτηριστικές σε άλλα μέρη της χώρας.

Και ομοίως ελπίζω ότι, όταν θα επιστρέψω, θα δείξω στον Jim να κατακτήσω την ανησυχία μου για τα ύψη.

Water is stated to be the most important compound to life. All living things requirement water. All living things, yes, including travelers. Swimming, snorkeling, running around, as well as more swimming are exhausting activities that must be enjoyed by those who will go on a whole-day island-hopping adventure. as well as to make it through this day, one should not fail to remember to bring a bottle of WATER.

I did. I did forget.

Why does it always occur to me? Δεκάρα.

But I’m getting ahead of the story.

Ει κοίτα! Ανανάς! as well as inside, Spongebob! ΔΕΝ.
After our semi-spiritual go to to Matinloc Shrine, we hopped back onto the boat as well as glided a number of meters to a close-by white beach. I’m not sure however I believe most of the beaches we saw as well as passed by are all part of Matinloc Island. It was a dazzling sight — gray cliffs topped with rich eco-friendlies as well as at the base, sparkling white sand welcoming the waves. We didn’t understand which beach we were headed to however we’d be absolutely happy with any type of of them.

Talisay Beach, El Nido, Palawan
Talisay beach was our boatman’s choice. I state “our boatman’s choice” since it seemed like each boat would dock at a separate beach. It was like we had the beach as well as I’m sure the group of tourists on the other beaches felt the same.

When we lastly climbed down our boats as well as soaked our feet, my buddy Ces just lay down as if dropping dead. She just discovered the like of her life — the sand. Pearly white sand.

Soon, our boatman revealed that they would be preparing lunch.

The regional government of El Nido standardizes the tour operations in the town. Τι σημαίνει? There are rules as well as policies that tour operators, boatmen, as well as resort owners must abide by. one of them is that all whole-day trips must include LUNCH.

They even go extremely specific. Lunch should comprise the following:

Ψάρι ψημένο στο γκριλ

Grilled meat (chicken or pork)

Ρύζι

Λαχανικά

Φρούτα

The finest thing about our lunch was that it was prepared as well as cooked at the beach itself. While we were basking in the sun as well as swimming, our boatmen transformed into island chefs.

We had grilled fish, grilled liempo, as well as cucumber for lunch. as well as for dessert, pineapples as well as bananas! The food was OK. There was nothing spectacular about it. It was just grilled, however we did not expect anything, anyway.

Tropical island lunch! whatever grilled as well as fresh!
There was as well much food, to be honest. It was as well much even for us. however since we didn’t want all that food to go to waste, we truly tried to surface it as well as leave nothing however bones. We were extremely satisfied. ΧΑΧΑΧΑ.

Now, if you take a second look at the “lunch” elements I listed above, there’s no water there. So hmmmm.

“Kuya, may tubig po kayo,” I asked one of the boatmen.

“Ay naku, wala,” responded to Kuya. “Bakit? Wala kayong dalang tubig?”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah,” yes, I truly stated it. “Wala po.” as well as then I laughed hard. I believe I was going crazy. When the group discovered that there was no water, none of us threw tantrums or felt bad. We just laughed it off. The location was just so gorgeous as well as the moment was so wonderful to be spoiled. as well as our boatmen had been nothing however useful as well as endearing. No blames here.

But the issue was triggered by a miscommunication between us as well as the tour agency. The company guaranteed us that they would be providing water. I assumption it was just not cascaded to the boatmen.

We were lucky since our boatmen were truly the very best in the world. They went out of their method to cross to the other beach as well as “borrow” water from the other boat.

Κανένα πρόβλημα.

My buddies enjoying the beach, the sea, as well as the view!
We stayed for one more hour at Talisay beach after lunch. At one point, all of us in the group were just sitting on the sand, viewing the waves roll by as well as admiring the view. None of us stated a word. We just sat there with our feet playing with the bubbles that the waves pushed towards us. It took a number of minutes up until somebody lastly stated something — “It’s beautiful.”

Here’s our diy EL NIDO PALAWAN travel guide BLOG! In this post, you’ll find sample EL NIDO ITINERARIES, breakdown of expenses, and recommendations on hotels, resorts, tours, and things to do. hope this helps you plan your next Palawan trip!

When I was a child and conjured up an image of a tropical paradise in a daydream, this looked exactly like this world.

When our boat glided through the waves, it was as though we sailed into a karst world straight from a fantasy film. As we moved closer, the cliffs appeared to magically part, as if ushering us in, inviting us to come in and see what the island had to offer. As we moved, these splendid huge rocks slowly revealed white, sparkling beaches adorned with coconut trees. In this world, “ugly” is either banned or non-existent. (Then I thought, “Holy eff, what am I doing here?”)

“This is my Narnia,” I mumbled to myself, thinking that the numerous years I had spent in the closet finally paid off. I chuckled.

How I got here was a matter of fate. El Nido was nowhere under my radar at the time. I was under a foolish impression that only the dirty rich could afford it. but as I was simply browsing the web, I chanced upon a piso sale. I wasn’t enslaved by travel then. A full-time corporate job had the whip in a tight grip. but it was the ideal moment. A classic corporate-slave-meets-freedom moment. Every tension that work had brought me over the past few weeks was blown away by the wind, washed away by the waves of El Nido.

Back then, El Nido was a bit different. It wasn’t as crowded or as developed. I could walk down the length of the town’s main street without running into another tourist. Back then, it wasn’t easy to reach. There weren’t that numerous flights, and the ride from Puerto Princesa would eat up over seven hours on a half-unpaved road.

But as I stood in the middle of it, I knew this would be the first of my numerous affairs with El Nido. Over the next few years, El Nido would be my go-to place whenever I needed a little bit of uplifting, even despite not being easily accessible. I returned practically every year. That’s the thing about El Nido: it’s playing hard-to-get. but it’s the kind of destination you’d want to marry.

Although a first-class municipality, El Nido remains a quiet town. The town proper is tiny, with very few big establishments other than small travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, and stores. The nearest city is Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan, which is five hours away.

WHERE TO stay IN EL NIDO

Best area to stay in El Nido

El Nido’s poblacion is composed of four barangays (villages): Buena Suerte, Corong-Corong, Maligaya, and Masagana. Together, they occUpy δύο μικρές χερσονήσους που βγαίνουν στον κόλπο Bacuit.

Αυτό που πολλοί άνθρωποι αναφέρονται ως “η πόλη” είναι στην πραγματικότητα ο οικισμός παράλληλος με την παραλία στο Brgy. Buena Suerte. Ακριβώς δίπλα του είναι Brgy. Masagana, γνωστή για αρκετά περισσότερα θέρετρα και παραλία Calaan. Το Corong-Corong βρίσκεται στο νότιο ακρωτήριο, με τις γωνίες και τα κούνια του γεμάτα με λεπτή άμμο.

Υπάρχουν τέσσερις κύριοι τομείς όπου μπορείτε να μείνετε:

Πόλη σωστή (Buena Suerte). Αυτό είναι όπου πολλές από τις δράσεις είναι. Οι δρόμοι του είναι πλαισιωμένοι με γραφεία ταξιδιού, μικρά ξενοδοχεία και εστιατόρια. Από όλες αυτές τις περιοχές, ήταν η πρώτη που αναπτύχθηκε. Έχει επίσης ένα teensy κομμάτι της νυχτερινής ζωής.

Corong-Corong. Τοποθετημένο στις νότιες παραλίες του Poblacion, έχει αυτή την απομονωμένη αίσθηση του τροπικού παράδεισου. Είναι η περιοχή πλησιέστερα στον τερματικό σταθμό λεωφορείου.

Beach Calaan (Masagana). Τα θέρετρα έχουν επίσης αρχίσει να ακμάζουν στην περιοχή, αλλά ακριβώς όπως το Corong Corong, δεν αισθάνεται γεμάτο.

Τα νησιά. Τα καταλύματα στα νησιά είναι κυρίως πολυτελή θέρετρα, τα οποία είναι εντελώς ακριβά, οπότε ας προσποιούμαστε ότι δεν υπάρχουν. χαχαχα

Εάν βρίσκεστε στο El Nido για κάποια ειρήνη και ηρεμία, μείνετε είτε στο Corong-Corong είτε στο Calaan. Αλλά αν θέλετε απλώς ευκολία, η πόλη είναι ακόμα η καλύτερη επιλογή.

Κορυφαία θέρετρα και ξενώνες του προϋπολογισμού

Το αγαπημένο μου μέρος για να μείνω στο El Nido είναι ο ξενώνας Spin Designer Hostel. Είναι καθαρό και καλά διατηρημένο, έχει φιλική εξυπηρέτηση και ένα περιβάλλον που ευνοεί τη σφυρηλάτηση φιλίας με άλλους ταξιδιώτες. Επειδή είναι στην πόλη σωστά, σχεδόν όλα όσα χρειάζομαι είναι εύκολα.

Συμπτωματικά, το Spin Hostel είναι μία από τις κορυφαίες ιδιότητες στην Agoda, οπότε υποθέτω ότι δεν είμαι ο μόνος ανεμιστήρας. Εδώ είναι τα υπόλοιπα καταλύματα υψηλότερης κατάταξης, όπως σημειώθηκαν από τους χρήστες στο διαδίκτυο. Σημειώστε ότι δεν είναι όλα αυτά στους τομείς που πιστεύουμε ότι είναι ιδανικές, αλλά έχουν τις καλύτερες βαθμολογίες μεταξύ των φιλικών προς τον προϋπολογισμό ακινήτων.

Hostel Designer Hostel. Πόλη σωστή. Η καλύτερη εμπειρία του ξενώνα στο El Nido. Ιδανικό για backpackers και σόλο ταξιδιώτες. Παρέχει κοιτώνες και ιδιωτικά δωμάτια, με υπέροχους κοινόχρηστους χώρους. Ελέγξτε τις τιμές και τη διαθεσιμότητα! ✅

Πώς να φτάσετε στο El Nido

Μανίλα στο El Nido (άμεση πτήση)

Η Airswift είναι η μόνη αεροπορική εταιρεία που πετάει από τη Μανίλα απευθείας στο αεροδρόμιο Lio στο El Nido. Λειτουργούν έως και τέσσερις πτήσεις την ημέρα.

Ένας μονόπλευρτος ναύλος είναι στο P5100 (συμπεριλαμβανομένων των φόρων, ένα γεύμα στη Μανίλα και καλωσορίστε σνακ El Nido). Ένα επιπλέον P200 συλλέγεται για επίδομα αποσκευών 10kg.

Στο αεροδρόμιο, μπορείτε να ταξιδέψετε με τρίκυκλο στο κέντρο της πόλης. Χρόνος ταξιδιού: 30 λεπτά. FARE: 200.

Αεροδρόμιο San Vicente στο El Nido

Ένας άλλος τρόπος για να αποκτήσετε πρόσβαση στο El Nido είναι μέσω του πρόσφατα ανοίγματος του αεροδρομίου San Vicente, που βρίσκεται σε μια γειτονική πόλη. Οι Philippine Airlines πετούν καθημερινά από το Clark στο San Vicente. Ο χρόνος ταξιδιού είναι 1 ώρα 40 λεπτά.

Στο αεροδρόμιο San Vicente, μπορείτε να οδηγήσετε ένα φορτηγό στο El Nido αναχωρώντας στις 1μμ. Το ναύλο είναι P400.

Θα τερματιστεί στο σταθμό στο El Nido. Από εκεί, μπορείτε να πάρετε ένα τρίκυκλο στο ξενοδοχείο ή το θέρετρο σας. Ο ναύλος είναι P50.

Αεροδρόμιο Puerto Princesa στο El Nido

Εάν τα ποσοστά της Airswift είναι λίγο ψηλότερα από τον προϋπολογισμό σας, μπορείτε να πετάξετε στο Puerto Princesa αντ ‘αυτού. Στη συνέχεια, ταξιδεύετε από τη γη από εκεί.

Το Puerto Princesa (PPS) διαθέτει ένα διεθνές αεροδρόμιο που είναι τώρα πολύ μεγαλύτερο και πολύ πιο εξοπλισμένο. Οι πτήσεις προς το PPS είναι συνήθως λιγότερο δαπανηρές από τις άμεσες πτήσεις προς το El Nido. Και μπορούν να πάνε απίστευτα χαμηλά κατά τη διάρκεια των πωλήσεων καθισμάτων. Η AirAsia και η Cebu Pacific Air προσφέρουν τους χαμηλότερους ναύλους, αλλά οι δημοσιευμένες τιμές δεν περιλαμβάνουν επίδομα αποσκευών, επιλογή καθισμάτων και γεύματα. Οι Philippine Airlines έχουν όλα αυτά τα πρόσθετα που περιλαμβάνονται στις δημοσιευμένες τιμές τους.

Για να φτάσετε στο El Nido από το Διεθνές Αεροδρόμιο του Puerto Princesa, έχετε δύο επιλογές: από το Van και με το λεωφορείο.

Από το φορτηγό

Αυτή είναι ίσως η πιο δημοφιλής επιλογή μεταξύ των τουριστών επειδή είναι ελαφρώς ταχύτερη. Εάν κάνετε κράτηση εκ των προτέρων, το φορτηγό μπορεί να σας παραλάβει στο αεροδρόμιο και να σας μεταφέρει κατευθείαν στο El Nido σε 5-6 ώρες.

Το Klook παρέχει δύο υπηρεσίες μεταφοράς: τακτικές και ημερήσιες.

Κανονικό φορτηγό
Πολλαπλά ταξίδια διατίθενται από τις 5:30 π.μ. έως τις 8:30 μ.μ.
FARE: P500.
✅ Κρατήστε μια θέση εδώ!

Φορτηγό Daytripper
Το Daytripper είναι ένα αξιοσέβαστο ταξιδιωτικό πρακτορείο στο Palawan. Τα φορτηγά τους είναι λίγο πιο άνετα με μεγαλύτερα πόδια και κεφαλή. Είναι επίσης γνωστοί για την εξαιρετική υπηρεσία τους (με ζώνες ασφαλείας!), Και χρειάζονται μόνο 5 επιβάτες για να πάνε. Υπάρχει μόνο ένα φορτηγό Daytripper διαθέσιμο στο Klook, που έχει προγραμματιστεί να φύγει στις 10 το πρωί από αυτή τη γραφή. (Double check the time before you book because this might change.)
Fare: P850.

If for whatever reason you can’t book with Klook, here are the companies providing this service:

Travel time is typically 5-6 hours. based on experience, these vans are fast. That’s both a good thing and a bad thing. I in some cases find myself saying a silent prayer in the middle of the journey. and I’m not even religious!

Regular fare is typically between P550 and P600. However, Fort Wally in some cases brings the cost down to P450 when they have a promo. Locals typically get a discount.

Some of these vans don’t leave until they’re full. but it doesn’t take that long these days.

All van journeys stop halfway for a quick restroom and snack break.

Με λεωφορείο

The bus is another option. It’s my preferred option, actually. Buses are much more comfortable now than before, much more comfortable than the vans (at least in my opinion). larger legroom, cooler temperature, and just bigger breathing space overall. Χαχα. The downside: it’s slower, taking 6-7 hours. and there are fewer journeys per day. but if you’re not in a big hurry, it’s a terrific option.

Here’s how to take the bus to El Nido.

Walk to the gate of the airport.

Hail a tricycle and ask to be taken to San Jose Terminal. Fare is P120 per ride. Split the cost if you’re a group. Alternatively, you can take a trike+jeepney combo, which is cheaper. but because I’m guessing you have heavy bags in tow, just go straight to the San Jose Terminal.

Board a bus to El Nido.

Two bus companies to choose from: RoRo Bus and Cherry Bus.

RoRo Bus
Ordinary: P290
Airconditioned: P380
Operating hours: 5am-9pm
Frequency: Every 2 hours

Cherry Bus
Ordinary: P385
Airconditioned: P480
Operating hours: 4am-10pm
Frequency: Every 2 hours

Both buses will make several stops along the way to pick up much more passengers, the longest will be in Roxas.

The bus will terminate at the station in El Nido. Από εκεί, μπορείτε να πάρετε ένα τρίκυκλο στο ξενοδοχείο ή το θέρετρο σας. Ο ναύλος είναι P50.

Coron to El Nido

Montenegro Fastcraft launched in September 2016 a new Coron-El Nido (and vice versa) route, which cuts the travel time to only 4 hours. schedule and rates below.

EL NIDO TOURS

One terrific thing about El Nido is that many essential attractions, especially the islands and beaches, are grouped into trip packages. The trips are also regulated and standardized. Boatmen and travel agencies should abide by the guidelines and guidelines that they set in purchase to offer a smoother and much more consistent service to tourists. A price ceiling is in effect, which implies trip operators cannot sell trips at rates higher than what has been set by the government.

The two many went to spots in El Nido are the small Lagoon and big Lagoon of Miniloc Island, both used to be part of trip A, which covers Miniloc Island. For the longest time, trip A was the most popular island tour, attracting much more tourists than all the other three by a mile. In effect, these sites are prone to overcrowding. To address the problem, in November 2018, the local government split the two apart and reassigned small Lagoon to trip D.

If you’re alone or a small group, you will be merged with other smaller groups to fill a boat. If you want a private boat, you can charter one too.

These guidelines apply:

You can check out only one premium spot per day. premium spots are: big Lagoon (Tour A), small Lagoon (Tour D), and secret beach (Tour C). You can’t check out big Lagoon and secret Lagoon on the same day. You can’t check out secret beach and small Lagoon on the same day, either. combination trips are now prohibited.

Pre-registration is required for visitors going to small Lagoon, big Lagoon, or secret Beach. This allows the government to monitor and manage the volume of tourists. To register, just give your name and contact details to the trip operator when you b

Once a month, Kristin Addis from Be My travel Muse writes a guest column featuring ideas and recommendations on solo female travel. It’s an crucial topic I can’t adequately cover, so I brought in an expert to share her advice. This month’s column is about taking care of unsupportive pals and family who think you’ll end up like the motion picture Taken.

I swallowed hard as I sat across from her, hoping the news would discuss smoothly. I’d been sitting on the information for months and had finally worked up the courage to tell her.

“Mom,” I began, “I’m quitting my job to travel the world.” I held my breath and wished I could hide behind something while she considered the news.

“How fun!” αυτή απάντησε.

I was stunned.

There was no questioning, no criticism, and no attempt to talk me out of it. I had her support. Απλούστατο. It was a substantial relief and, now that she knew, I could tell the rest of the world too.

Have you found yourself in the same position? You’re dying to travel the world. You’ve made a decision not to wait until a friend, family member, or significant other can join you because if you did, you might be waiting forever. You’re pumped up for the road ahead, but just one thing looms in your way — telling everyone else in your life that you’re going to be gone for a while, all by yourself, on the other side of the world.

One of the greatest sources of worry people have is breaking the news to pals and family. They may ask you, “What about your career? What about your boyfriend/lease/cat/garage band? must you really be out in this big scary world alone? It’s not safe for women to travel. Aren’t you anxious about ending up like in that motion picture ‘Taken’?”

Their worries are only natural, and it’s best to plan on a mix of reactions, just in case they’re not all completely positive and encouraging like my mother was.

So, when you get negative feedback, how do you deal with their criticisms and concerns? What happens when your pals and family don’t support your trip? What do you do when your parents don’t want you to travel?

Here is my recommendations on how to deal with unsupportive pals and family – and win them over:

Make sure You’re Committed

If you’re not entirely sure about your decision to travel solo, it’ll be much easier for concerned pals and family to talk you out of it. Don’t just come up with a half-baked idea and tell everyone that you might be considering traveling alone.

On the other hand, does the dream of traveling keep you awake at night (in a good way)? Are you a lot more ecstatic about exploring the world than anything else in your life ideal now?

Have you looked into the cost to travel the world?

Are you dedicated enough to save up the required funds?

If so, you’ve likely committed to making your travel dreams a reality. Now, you need to turn your desire into a plan.

Have a solid Plan

Sit down and plan out every detail so that when you encounter doubters you can come back with information to address their concerns. show your pals and family how much time and thought you’ve put into your trip. It’s much easier to put your parents and pals at ease if you have a well-thought-out plan and are absolutely prepared.

Hopefully, also your passion will be infectious, and once they see how much it indicates to you, they’ll be a lot more supportive.

When I asked my mother what made her support my decision so quickly, she responded that she saw how well I had planned my trip and knew from that alone how much it indicated to me and how severe I was about it.

I had shown her examples of other solo travelers out doing the same thing, given her a rough itinerary, and spoke to her at length about what the trip would entail. I had told her the countries I planned to visit, pointed her to the blogs I had been reading, and shared my budget plan.

She got to feel like she was part of it rather than just an afterthought. That put her a lot more at ease.

Be ready for any questions they might throw at you!

Let the Numbers Do the Talking

A girl shouldn’t be out traveling alone; it’s a scary world out there” is a action you’re likely to hear. parents naturally want their child to be safe and often concern that being a woman on her own abroad is a lot more hazardous than it is at home. but the reality is, whatever you’ve done so far in life to stay alive is relevant abroad as well.

I also find it valuable to point out that solo female travel is on the rise — it’s not so odd anymore. A google search on “solo female travel” now yields back millions of results. reports after reports have shown that there is now a shift in the travel industry to deal with solo female travelers.

It’s not just young women who travel solo, the trend has even amplified across generations. This indicates a lot more women-only excursions and a lot more opportunities to meet and connect with other solo female travelers on the road and even online.

Do your research and show your pals and family that you are fully prepared and aware of what you are getting yourself into. assure them that you will not be the only one out there and that you are confident in your decision.

You’re just a Phone call Away

Part of the negative reactions will a lot of likely have to make with your pals and family fearing that they won’t be able to get in touch with you. They may be envisioning jungles and remote places where only old-fashioned snail mail is available. That may have been true 20-30 years ago, but these days Wi-Fi is everywhere. even when it’s not, local SIM cards are easy to find.

It’s also much easier than ever to stay connected with apps that allow messaging, chatting, and video calling for free, such as Facebook, Skype, Zoom, Viber, KakaoTalk, and WhatsApp. too lots of pals and family to update your travels? Share photos and videos on your social media and keep everyone in the loop. It’s also a terrific way to share your happiness and who knows? It might be so infectious that your pals and family would consider doing the same!

International phone plans are also available from T-Mobile without the large price tag. This indicates that anywhere that you can at least get cell reception, you’ll be reachable. You’ll genuinely be just a phone call away during the majority of your trip.

Ask For Their depend on and Support

If all else fails, turn it around. Your parents raised a child with a good head on her shoulders, didn’t they? Ask them, “Don’t you think I’m capable?” If the answer is “yes,” then end the conversation.

If the answer is “no,” then ask for the reason behind the no. chances are they won’t really come up with one — no parent wants to tell their child they don’t think they can succeed.

Males and females both have to look after their safety, and your gender doesn’t inhibit your ability to travel. Do they not depend on you, love you, and want you to live a life that is fulfilling? must they stop you from living your own life?

Chances are when put this way, your loved ones will realize that you’re a capable adult and know not to intentionally do silly things to put yourself in harm’s way.

Remember: It’s Your Decision

It can be pretty disappointing when you’re so ecstatic about the prospect of your big trip, and the most crucial people around you aren’t supportive of it.

When I quit my job to travel by myself, a lot of people were left scratching their heads, anxious I was going through a quarter-life crisis and burning bridges behind me. They just didn’t understand a life outside of the one they were living, and they weren’t comfortable with that kind of risk in their own lives.

I’ve come to realize that when people express a negative viewpoint about the decisions made by others, it’s normally their own insecurities talking.

Worried pals and family are not necessarily a bad thing, though. It indicates that there are people out there who love and care about you, and who want you around. It’s only natural and probably inevitable. In time, as they see you blossom on your trip, having adventures and stunning experiences to last a lifetime, they’ll become a lot more comfortable with the idea.

There are always naysayers, but they don’t have to hold you back from living out your own life. You only get one, and it’s yours to do what you wish. You might as well spend it chasing a dream rather than letting the fears of others hold you back.

When it comes down to it, with or without cheers from everyone in your corner, you just have to take the first step, and go.
