Search for a place to death. editor's postscript to El Nido.



El Nido in western Palawan in the Philippines which thought would like to go throughout a period of five years! I arrived somehow. Inside which I do not understand whether to become what a change of schedule by unseasonable weather tensely very much, However it might roll where, I constructed a schedule which comes back to Tokyo on the day fixed for the time being. August of the Philippines is a typhoon season although written also into the sentence several times, When I went to Subic for the first time, I am without a break one week and it is rain, I was subject to the influence of a typhoon in the second half in Boracay Island last year. However, as for the travel having been canceled although there was delay of an airplane in an old travel, once is also nothing, At such a point, I had such recognition which I always attach. Therefore, since it was after the prudent plan this time, I thought OK. And I digested the prearranged schedule.

In order to go into this El Nido, there are two routes. One goes by airplane from Manila to the comparatively big town in Palawan, and Puerto Princesa, The large jet aircraft of Philippine Airlines flies between what goes from there to overland route El Nido, and Manila ? Puerto Princesa, It is not so difficult to get the ticket of this route even from Japan. A problem is from Puerto Princesa to El Nido. I am the private taxi which carried out the overland route charter, and it is 5-6 hours, I am a taxi which is a van of omnibus and it is 6-7 hours, By usual bus, if long, I have heard that it takes 10 hours. There is no highway, especially, a bus , mud, a ball passenger, I heard the talk that everybody got off the bus, pushed the bus and escaped from mud. To be sure for the people of a spot, entrainment into such a long bus may also be unavoidable. In order that the bartender of a resort who became acquainted this time might also meet the family who has put on Puerto Princesa, He had said that I took a trip long once per month. However, too unreal for us the incoming tourists, Probably, the charge will not be so big-ticket, even if it actually takes a bus in the van of such omnibus. The charge of the airplane between Manila ? Puerto Princesa will start so so, I think that a charge does not change so much with the airplane between Manila ? El Nido which is the second method. I took the airplane between the second method and Manila ? El Nido this time. However, reservation of this airplane was not completed on the travel desk which I use for usual. What becomes stay and the set of a big resort of El Nido which are packs chiefly in the network, and is reserved, Depending on the case, I had written visitor priority of the resort of El Nido. Although the first tour desk to ask by chance this time took this airplane for the resort of El Nido, and the tie-in, The charge was a perfect rip-off. The airline ticket of AirSwift between Manila ? El Nido is one way of 4.120 pesos, I used the Japanese yen and know that it is a little less than 9.000 yen. I had the charge more than double [ the ] taken this time. （＞＜）

Now, it is although it is a town in El Nido, and the El Nido town of Palawan main island, This side where the airplane between the Manila ? El Nido is hearing the talk referred to as being canceled by unseasonable weather well this time, Even if an airplane should not fly, I stop at Manila, Even if the lodging expense which paid in advance by reserving did not come on the contrary, I secured two nights of lodging in a cheap hotel so that I might be satisfactory. The lodging expense of the El Nido resort of an island is AllInclusive, They are activities other than the buffet and diving of 3 meals in addition to stay, That is, all the charges of the optional tour are included. It is never a cheap amount of money. However, it is written clearly firmly that imprest does not repay even if stay is canceled, in order that an airplane may not fly. Then, it is that I go out furthermore it does not suit in August of a typhoon season, Therefore, in order to stop at worst the amount of money which is not repaid, I took such a hotel. Although what was necessary would be just to have taken the cheap hotel of El Nido town throat middle, The hotel specified by a tour desk was an inconvenient place which must be run with a tricycle from the central part of the El Nido town as long as 25 minutes. (I do not consume this on a my mind, either!) It which will probably have a margin of the amount equivalent should also have taken my payment. .And I went out from this distantly distant hotel continuously on the second to the El Nido town which is a downtown area. A place! the El Nido town, it was an uncanny interesting town. This was delightful miscalculation. If a town is never run by rental motorbike which is not refined, it will be a town small like it all sees immediately, There is not necessarily entertainment of night, However, prices are cheap, I can taste fresh delicacies from the sea, and there is also a store where the foreign partner joked so so by one side, It was a town which I have not experienced until now. If carried out to the resort of the island by nonstop, it was just going to overlook this town that is a candidate of the ground of this migration. Although, as for the weather, it continued raining two nights for three days unluckily, The meaning referred to as liking to see a town when having cleared up again was also a town to go to once again very much.
And there is a resort of many islands in the resort of the island in El Nido, and El Nido still more. Since El Nido could not but choose one island on the relation of a schedule for 1 island 1 resort, however this travel, I chose the mini lock island, without wavering. This is because he wanted to surely see the big lagoon of this mini lock island, and a small lagoon this time. Even if he stayed at the resort of other islands, I knew that I would have been to the mini lock island. There is exchange between the resorts of each island, For example, even if I take a hotel on a Lagen island or a Pangracian island, I come to a mini lock island by an activity, Then, I knew that even lunch would be eaten in accommodation charges. But I chose the good mini lock island of access to a big lagoon and a small lagoon too. Therefore, even after going out to a big lagoon and a small lagoon by an activity, I was able to row the kayak by myself and was able to go to the big lagoon once again. if I am staying at the resort of other islands -- this much -- the waist -- I think that I was not able to move lightly.
Now, the big lagoon, a small lagoon, and that were too wonderful places. I have seen much favorite blue sea till now. Okinawa, a parao, a track, Boracay Island in the Philippines, the Sumilon island in Cebu, Although not carried out to the Maldive Islands or French Polinecian after which I still yearn, I was able to see the completely heterogeneous blue sea different from such a beach resort. There was Nature untouched [from hundreds of millions of years of before. A thin lagoon like the canal surrounded by precipitous cliff which is looked up at had solemnness peculiar to different species. Although it saw and turned by the kayak which I row by my hand even in the big lagoon or the small lagoon, I could not look at it slowly, unless that scene is a kayak. if there is a jet ski and it goes back and forth freely there, it ,then, I will become pleasant sightseeing, however Couldn't you carry out skilled of the wonderfulness of that scene just because it was a kayak which advances at speed which does not have the appearance of speed, and which walks? Rain splendid till the day preceding what was blessed with the weather, Therefore, the color of the sea thrilled with the photograph of the Internet is although I was a little different, Although it is not yet understood whether correction is added to the photograph of that it is the rain result or the Internet, and, I think that it wants not to hear the correct answer from a person, but to go out once again, to obtain it by one's eye, and to obtain a correct answer.
About the resort of the mini lock island, this was a comfortable hotel truly. Although it expected from the beginning that it was a room small probably which does not have a tub in every room, The room itself was by no means wakeful.
Hot hot water comes out with sufficient vigor firmly, and an air conditioner is effective firmly, Wherever it might be in [ of an island ], it was an institution which can enjoy a resort life fully leisurely. I would like to stay at an aquatic cottage or a beachside villa through the tour desk which is not ripped off shortly. If curtain is opened, and that sea jumps into eyes and comes first of all when eyes awake, it will be too at the time of extreme happiness.I also regard drinking beer leisurely as it being the highest, looking at the sea on the veranda in front of my room. And the meal of this resort and 3 meals were surprised by a buffet, this side with many too Westerners, and the refined delicious meal. It seems that there were many for a little young persons and strong salty things, but therefore, I was able to use self-control for myself in the buffet. Signs that I cannot obtain fresh vegetables somehow fresh in the El Nido town easily, But in this mini lock resort, I was able to eat many leaves like the rabbit. Beef, pork, and a chicken were burned by BBQ, respectively, and meat also had plenty of BBQ of delicacies from the sea, such as white-fleshed fish, a squid, a shrimp, and a crab, by one side. Carbohydrate is altogether equal to boiled rice, bread, and a pasta, and the quality was also fully able to satisfy it.
And the staff of the Miniloc resort of this El Nido, Will work, if they say at a word, and it is new for a Filipino who is a person .... The female staffs who make reservation of an activity do the arrangement certainly, I should do what to me or fully explain plainly. I explain each highlight, fully ensuring the tour guides of an activity, and a guest's safety. There was a glimpse of their such consideration also including medical knowledge. It turned out that I consider so that a guest's leg may not be pinched between a boat and a pier. It seemed that I was taking care also while the guest is doing snorkeling. And there was a bartender who became friendly. I heard from him. It is said that I rest for four weeks, I work that there is nothing, take the vacation on several, and go to meet a family to Puerto Princesa.But everybody taking pride and working happily moreover was able to see. Although several such Filipinos were seen occasionally also in the hotel in Manila,I was reflected in my eye as everybody was working to such here.

Now, is El Nido suitable for the ground of migration? An answer is 'Yes! It is '. there is being unable to go to an extravagant resort, after emigrating very much, but paying thousands of yen occasionally and participating in an activity from a town -- probably I am -- do ?? It is a joke at a bartender. "Can't I perform a Japanese visitor partner's dispensary service here? When inquiring it as ", HeI had said that I was possible. Probably, No No No and it's impossible ....
