Port Barton and El Nido
It’s been quite a while since I updated Chasamba, we’ve been busy with lots of things- I’ve been painting the deck and have scraped the barnacles off the hull ( an ongoing project!), Oren has built a wind vane rudder and we have generally cleaned up a bit. Then we made a quick trip to Port Barton, and a few days ago came back from El Nido. Port Barton was nice, but El Nido is outstandingly beautiful and well worth a visit for anyone who likes snorkeling or just looking at the view.
Our bus to Port Barton….
which of course broke down several times….
in the middle of nowhere.
The nice thing about Philippinos is that although it is a long, hard journey, 6 or 7 hours,
everyone looks on the bright side!
