The place is magnificent. We can snorkel, swim, kayak and practice Yoga!! No bike lanes. This place is rated highly and a lot cheaper than Thailand/Vietnam. You can fly from SFO to Manila and straight to Bosuaga, Palawan.<br /><br />There is also a chance for a bike tour in South of Spain. I met one of the old pro cyclist on the trip to <a href="http://www.philippinecountry.com/philippine_beach/elnido.html">El Nido</a>. He gave me his number, friend's number and tour person to help us check it out. Best time to visit is April-June. Weather is perfect for riding.<br /><br />My brother and I went to two boat tours in two days. I have not 'skin dive' in a long time. It is like riding a bike, after a few gulps of sea water, you learn quickly how to blow that water out. I am darker than James now. Of course the hair is still gray. The tan line of the shorts - gone quickly!<br /><br />I miss James, our rides, the spin classes but I love this place! The local folks are so kind and generous! Food is really YUMMY and cheap. Seafood galore and they do have a lot of European/Asian cuisine.<br /><br />Electricity in El Nido is from 6 PM to 6 AM and from 12 pm to 4 pm. Internet access is limited.<br /><br />Pictures from some of the boat tours: <a href="http://www.xtreak.com/go/mariamonet">http://www.xtreak.com/go/mariamonet</a><br /><br />Take care!
