Floating while dining at Badjao Seafront Restaurant

The long wait is finally over! Now, I will be tracing the northern borders of Palawan and will be spending my 30th awesome years on earth in El Nido. It’s a personal choice to go to this place and celebrate life.

El Nido is a first class municipality and managed resource protected area in the province of Palawan in the Philippines. It is about 420 kilometres southwest of Manila, and about 238 kilometres northeast of Puerto Princesa, Palawan’s capital. The 6-7 hours butt-numbing land travel is all worth it when you see the place.

I departed Manila past 9 in the morning and landed in Puerto Princesa Airport after an hour. Just in time for lunch so we headed to Badjao Seafront Restaurant to grab something to eat.

This Restaurant offers the best dining experience to local and tourists, with its rustic and cosy ambience, to excellent exotic foods.
