I was waiting for the last trip of the RORO Bus to El Nido leave last night when someone when someone went up and stood in front of the bus. I was getting bored and hoped that he would perform a special number before we leave but he told details about a new way to get travel from El Nido to Coron, which I found really entertaining.

He presented that Montenegro Lines starting today will be ferrying people from El Nido to Coron and Vice Versa via their fast craft.

The travel time of the said trip is estimated to be 3 to 4 hours. The departure from El Nido would be 6AM daily and the departure from Coron would be 12NN daily.

Clear Waters of Boayan Island

I was riding on a van to Roxas, Palawan last January 2012 when 2 Germans asked me about Palawan. They asked about Port Barton but I was totally clueless of the place. When I arrived at Roxas, Palawan I tried asking around the transportation terminal and found that the jeep to Port Barton was full of foreigners. According to the jeepney driver that Port Barton was popular among the foreigner and not with Filipinos.

I researched more about Port Barton. It was located in the municipality of San Vicente, Palawan which has the longest beach here in the Philippines. It also boasts of Boayan Island which they say is a hidden natural gem. The locals also said that there was a dairy farm there that I could buy milk fresh from the cow. Looked at Google Maps and it definitely sparked my interest changing my plans for my 12 for 2012 Travel Project from Southern Palawan to San Vicente, Palawan.

Luckily, Val de Guzman, a friend of mine who also share the same passion with nature, the outdoors and talking to people also moved to Palawan. I invited her to join me on a 5-day trip to San Vicente and she agreed! And luckily, she also shared the expenses with me making me afford to explore the beauty of San Vicente.
