El Nido Disaster!!!

We loaded our bags on to the trikes and headed home.  We had a great trip right up to the time we got to the airport.  We flew out of El Nido on a small Mom & Pop airline instead of taking the 5 hour drive back to Puerto Princess.  The airlines too ALL of my shells.  Seriously went through EVERY bag by hand and took them all!!!  That was the entire reason we went to the Phillippines, which happens to be the world's LARGEST exporter of LIVE shells.  All mine were dead!!!  It was not the way to end what had been a perfect trip!

Natnat Beach

Our last stop was Natnat beach.  Lily and I went exploring while Tom & Thomas went snorkeling.  We had a fun time.

Pasandigan Beach

This was a small rocky beach but still very pretty.  It also had some great snorkeling!

Paradise Beach

This was our favorite stop of the day.  It was a long stretch of white sand beach.  We had the place to ourselves and ate lunch here.  We also went snorkeling and saw some amazing stuff including a large squid.  This beach was fantastic!
