To the last unexplored region El Nido!  2016 Summer
The sixth day

The sixth day,
I came to the resort of the Miniloc island, and carried out the skilled stripes of El Nido yesterday on the 3rd. A place to come to throughout a period of five years and the very much heavy waist do not go up, If the plan was formed, I had become a failure by a plan. Now, I am in the place which has driven the thought, And I have seen the scene to look at absolutely. Satisfaction! Now, I planned a slowdown and to have enjoyed the resort life rather a little today. I apply invitation of an activity, whenever a young female concierge's eyes suit. I would like to pass somewhat leisurely today, I answered so and stopped at the hotel during the morning. And I go to the ground too famous for El Nido too called Snake island by an activity in the afternoon. The island in which many snakes are present? No, the shoal winding like a snake connects an island and an island about 500 m away, It is the wonderful place that I can walk between islands. I become in the second half of stay in a Miniloc resort.

I will go outside instantly after I awake. It is a veranda shortly after coming out of the room, There where several steps get down from stairs is a beach of white sand. I did my best too much by the kayak yesterday? I was unexpectedly OK although it thought whether to be hit by the muscular pain of an arm probably. Condition is thoroughgoing for the time being. Condition is thoroughgoing for the time being.

IMG_0926.JPG

Condition is thoroughgoing for the time being.although it is not the fine weather which is like yesterday? After a while, the sun also shows up. While it is impending marine, Though it is rainy days, humidity is not necessarily by no means high, Heat is not a severe thing with which it is as disgusted as Japan, either, I am farther comfortable than Tokyo.

IMG_0923.JPG

This has my room, only 27 square meters, and no tub. It seems that there is no tub also in the room where the most expensive in this resort. If it gets used by it, I do not worry it, The hot water of a shower gets fairly hot and dissatisfaction never has the vigor of water in the room very much.

IMG_0927.JPG

I made breakfast light. The salad of olive oil and balsamico vinegar is full as usual, Since a leaf tends to be taken in a buffet, this is really glad. Coffee, mango juice, carbohydrate nothing, and a sausage with the usual rest, but an egg have collapsed to 2friedeggssunnysideup(><)

IMG_0928.JPG

This scene, if it is watching, true, heart comfort.I can move from Tokyo by 3hours and 1 hour, an airplane, and 30 minutes of ship, and can come here at last. It is far! Coming in such a distance this much and telling three nights to this resort does not carry out slightly regrettable mind, either also coming out, although there is nothing this time.

IMG_0933.JPG

During the morning, a lot, I felt relieved without doing anything. There are seldom Japanese people. There seem to be most Western couples after all, However, a family with its child is also very well. If a not much small child does not have a place which plays, either and dissatisfaction remains just for a moment? But they can play with fish.

IMG_0925.JPG

I was rolling on the beach for 3 hours in the morning. LINE reports to my family to my staffs to my friends. and although a photograph is sent, Wi-Fi is merely heavy! Sending a report with a photograph to my three children, respectively takes time very. I carry out family LINE and my wife who should just have done does not do LINE.

IMG_0939.JPG

While he is seldom hungry, without moving my body, it is already lunchtime, In fact, this resort, 3 meals with of only 2 hours time restrictions. I cannot say that I therefore shift a meal by myself. Or that the regular rule is also good for the resort life which tends to be been lazy in spite of itself?

IMG_0943.jpg

Mango all-you-can-eat to me, I am glad. Although that is high in former Governor Higashikokubaru's mango from Miyazaki and a hand does not come out in Japan, the fruit in which a mango is very lighthearted in the Philippines here, and it is indulgently delicious. But a calorie seems to be somewhat high. Under the present circumstances, therefore, I eat with all my might.

IMG_0944.JPG

Now, an afternoon comes, and I go to a pier at promised time, and go to pickup and the optional tour of an activity. I change to the bunker boat which approached the example and is offshore at anchor by the small boat, and go to another island. I differ from completely the feeling which is surrounded by the sea and leaves the circumference along an overland route in respect of directivity.

IMG_0954.JPG

A marine expression differs from completely the time of waves being quiet and yesterday's Sunset cruise today. Although the clouds of so so and some also have the weather for the time being, I am not caught in rain. On the sea, air is fresh after all. I become the feeling different from 物海 referred to as being in the middle of the sea surrounded by the island just for a moment.

IMG_0955.JPG

I arrive at the back uninhabited island of the cruise for a little less than 30 minutes (the name of the island got down from the ship which could not be heard, and landed at the island).It is an island which cannot land unless it wets a leg here, I have received [ carrying out the preparations which wear a swimming suit in advance and may get wet, and ] directions. The sea is not so blue.

IMG_0961.JPG

As there was a cave somehow, I came to the entrance of the cave. A guide leads, and the guests enters and goes to inside in order. I am waiting for the turn and a tourist standing in a line and going into inside. It is likely to take some time very much. There is also my elder sister with the sufficient parenthesis of a bikini.

IMG_0967.JPG

How? The entrance seems to be narrow, I seem to be useless, if it covers with a cushion downward, the body is folded up and it does not go into inside. As claustrophobic me, something is a disagreeable feeling. I notified the guide. since feeling is likely to worsen, I do not enter, I am waiting outside ....

IMG_0970.JPG

I went away in the direction of the beach at which I separated from the entrance and the bunker boat stopped. This circumference and the sea are not necessarily so blue -- it seems that there is also no institution in particular and there are also no accommodations. But a guide is attached to each by many bunker boats by which I came to the circumference from resort various probably or Palawan main island.

IMG_0976.JPG

Many young groups of young foreigners, especially Westerners were coming. France, Spain, Russia? Do they pay money by themselves wholly? I should apply considerable money to probably coming so far from Europe. Have they worked? There is almost no Japanese. Rather no Japanese mede me comfortable, because i was not needed speak Japanese.

IMG_0983.JPG

I pulled myself together once again and carried out to the direction of the entrance. Thus, unless it progresses so that it may bend and crawl on the body, I do not put into inside. On the way. if it comes out and the body is caught, I am likely to start panic -- I am impossible too! I carried out going into inside after all to giving up.

IMG_0984.JPG

Inside is not a scene like a special limestone cave which will seemingly be large somehow, either, and I thought that it was not necessary feel disagreeable and to enter. It seemed to be what and the incubation place of the Japanese army. War is miserable after all. It is surrender if I have to stop having to enter here in war.

IMG_0997.JPG

Now, a ship runs about 15 minutes from a start and here, and goes to the Snake island. The Snake island is not the island in which snakes are present but the place connected about 500 meters at the shoal where between a certain islands and islands wound like a snake. I saw on the Internet. That was a beautiful scene, I remember and I wished to come here.This was only two famous spot where I visit with the lagoon.

IMG_1005.JPG

I moved by the mere about 15 minute by a bunker boat. Seemingly that island is the Snake island somehow, It seems that marine water is blue so so so that the circumference of an island may be very shallow. It seems that there are those who are already walking along the front shoal. The shoal where I connect between an island and an island there? There is likely to be distance very much.

IMG_1006.JPG

Is it a tourist draw popular after all also here? The bunker boat of several boats takes to the surroundings, It seems that tourists get down from there and they are enjoying the shoal of this Snake island. Sea throat middle in which hasheard only the sound of a wind, and few persons' voice, Nature! I will be impressed, if uncanny while it is wonderful.

IMG_1007.JPG

There are those who walk and go to the other side. The island of the other side is fairly large. but there is likely to be neither accommodations nor a private house Although the shoal between this island was seemingly crossed once and there was exchange of trade etc., When signs that it is absent, and tide are in, it becomes impossible now for a person [ shoal / this / in addition to a tourist ] to cross.

RIMG3430.JPG

I will also get down from a ship and will walk along this shoal. When it gets down from a ship for the time being, the depth is to the hit of the waist. Since I am serious if iPhone which is not waterproofing is dropped into water, I put iPhone in the bag which I leave to a ship, Even if it should drop, I brought a waterproofing camera.

RIMG3436.JPG

Walking to the island of the side opposite to, about 200 m, water is not so cold too and it is not pain that a lower half of the body gets wet so much. Although the island of the side here is aimed at, in the island here, just it does not observe greatly so signs that people live. the weather, a little, thin cloudy weather, it is not hot.

RIMG3443.JPG

This has only the depth of an about to the way of the shoal, a mere ankle. it seems that about width 2m becomes shallow, It will become deep and will go gradually if I am alike and it goes from both the side sea.It seems that this shoal shows up from the water surface completely in the time zone which tide is pulling completely.

RIMG3447.JPG

It seems that this shoal has wound like a snake too if it looks back upon back. The reason to which this is called the Snake island, Although the color of marine water is blue so so, if it is a thin cloudy weather reason and fine which the sun puts there, it will be a color of the wonderful bluer sea too?

RIMG3454.JPG

It seems that heights are located in the center of landing, how, or this island on the small island of the side opposite to, and I have become an observatory there. The guests of the same resort who got down from the same bunker boat construct a rank, and rise stairs aiming at the observatory. If it walks and goes, with how much I have to walk not understood ....

RIMG3460.JPG

I arrived at the observatory in about about 5 minutes. There was also a steep hill which seems to be slightly dangerous on the way. On the other hand, a number also with a splendid tourist who finishes a visit and gets down from stairs, almost no Oriental and many Westerners after all, It seems that furthermore, the Japanese who can do information exchange does not have one person, either.

RIMG3468.JPG

This is the view from an observatory, the shoal along which surely I have walked now connected between island and island, and are extended straightly. The shoal which is visible now although it has wound like a snake in the place approaching the island here is a straight line mostly. If it sees in this way, it turns out well that I walk to the island of the other side rightly.

RIMG3480.JPG

The observatory was the upper part of the body for which I have to be waiting until the former organization is settled temporarily and it yields a place, in order to stand on quite confusion and the highest lookout platform. I look at this wonderful scene about 15 minutes, and I come out wholly, and I get down from an observatory all at once, and go by the signal of a guide.

RIMG3492.JPG

Do we walk to the island of the other side...? Or after getting down from a ship, I dont want to already walk any more, If they go to the island over there, I felt inclined to ride and wait on the ship. I draw the shoal by the side of an island with an observatory, and a curve beautiful in this way here, and it is just Snake. I got tired just for a moment.

RIMG3504.JPG

It seems a distance about 500 m? It seems that there are also some persons who walk and go to an island over there. Probably, there is nothing, even if it goes to an island over there? I do not want to already walk not much.... As it considered very, all the guests including a guide of this ship began to get in the ship. It was good ....

RIMG3511.JPG

It was the guests of another bunker boat that walk and go to an island over there. The guide took up my iPhone and took the photograph over this Snake island full length focusing on me with the panoramic photograph here. I did not know how to take this panoramic photograph. Along with an arrow, he moves a camera.

IMG_1022.JPG

Now, as for this optional tour is over, a bunker boat returns to a resort after this. Although there are many optional tours which I am not yet performing in these days, I will finish and inquire in yesterday's lagoon, the Sunset cruise, and this Snake island, and I will turn next time.

IMG_1024.JPG

I came back to the resort in about about 30 minutes. I took care so that it might not fall over shortly. The boat arrived at the pier, and when the bottom of the pier was seen, small fish formed the group and was sailing in it. I am fortunate to have ended in such a paradise? It is eaten by the large fish but when inattentive is it? It is serious after all?

IMG_1031.JPG

Although it was small or was an optional tour of about 2 hours, riding and moving to a ship too gets tired? Since there is still time even in supper, I will return to the room once. I carry out comfort also going here and there by an optional tour hard, Moreover, that it is a room also unenthusiastically leisurely, I carry out right and there is freedom which is not bound.

IMG_1034.JPG

I found the parrotfish which sails in a shallow place leisurely in the center of a pier. Several parrotfish were located in a line with the stand for BBQ in the El Nido town. Although it is a beautiful fish, even if it eats, I do not seem to be not much deliciously, Although it was also in my once saltwater fish tank, this fish take out mucus, and sleep in it and the water of a tank becomes dirty at night.

IMG_1051.JPG

I obtained, even if calm for small 1 hour in the room, and outside became dark more and more, and the time of supper drew near, and I went to a dining. This is a charge although the drink can drink full of a bar before a meal, and when for a while, However, the charge is not a rip-off charge of a hotel, and is reasonable. There was a bartender who gets the talk friendly.

IMG_1056.jpg

From 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. it is the dinnertime in this hotel. There will not be comparatively many guests who jump into a dining room exactly at 7:00. If it comes exactly at 7:00, a seat is still almost empty. There was such, fact, there were so many children.The surroundings of this are crowded with children.

IMG_1060.JPG

In this dining room, there is always BBQ. The beef, the chicken, the pork, the white-fleshed fish, squid, and shrimp which they are not yet burning are located in a line.The foods roasted by the roast have another form where it is further piled and a guest can catch them freely. the chic hen looked very deliciously.

IMG_1062.JPG

Moreover, in an all-you-can-eat buffet and BBQ, I am most pleased with a squid. A set of BBQ, a salad and pumpkin soup, and I resigned rice and it has taken the pasta a full salad and today again. If a pasta is also specified, the stuff will warm through fire on that spot. But I have got bored soon…(><)

IMG_1066.jpg

I was as Brown Rice. Brown rice? Although tasting was not carried out, the smell was a little worrisome and it was the same smell as cheap rice peculiar to the Philippines which is not probably so delicious. I restrict rice to Japanese rice after all! Japanese rice is first although it is expensive. The jar containing rice was ZOJIRUSHI.

I slowed down a little today.Probably, it may be also enjoying the optional tour which is an activity with all its might sufficient as it. But I certainly come here again. Therefore, I did not carry out stripes not much greedily this time. The time schedule and it which had a margin quite in time also got tired very well today. In this mini lock resort, they are three nights and four days, Although it became The Japanese family who became acquainted at the Manila airport tells three nights to a Minilooc island, and to a Lagen island as three nights? and seemed to be the strong schedule, It is an itinerary which is likely to get tired although it is pleasant at it. Probably, they are OK since they were young husband and wife. Although I spent two nights in the El Nido town, Possibly in one night, I was not able to find out the pleasure of the El Nido town rather. Although changed into the calm itinerary, saving from the original schedule,This thinks that it was not sour grapes but a correct answer. There is an island to go to otherwise. However, it is since it cannot take in the vacation by eight nights and 9 days however long it may be, I think that I have secured the highest summer vacation as hard as possible now. I make this El Nido into behind, and will return to Manila tomorrow. Certainly! I certainly come to this island again!!
