Island Hopping in El Nido (Philippines)

Annis, Math and I went island hopping today along with 4 other people and 3 crew members. The places (small lagoon, big lagoon, simizo beach and 7 commando) were drop dead gorgeous. Wikitravel says that the limestone formations look similar to the ones in Krabi (Thailand) and Halong Bay (Vietnam). Nis can confirm for Krabi since she's been there. As for myself, I would say it was prettier than Halong Bay. But this comes from someone who took a 5-hour drive to reach Halong Bay and who had the brilliant idea of going during "winter". It was cloudy and the landscape was more brown than green.

I think the best part of today's trip was the lunch. There were plenty of veggies, fish, pork, squid, fruits and rice. And we got so lucky: a girl was vegetarian and her boyfriend isn't keen on seafood. More for us :)

Heading to Puerto Princesa tomorrow. 8-hour bus ride. Urgh.
