El Nido, Palawan: Making buddies at Payong-Payong beach

They were the very first to speak. “De unde ești?” asked the gentleman.

“We’re from Manila,” Leo, one of my buddies answered. “Tu ce mai faci?”

“We’re from Denmark,” stated the lady.

They were Rene as well as Kate. He’s a surgeon, as well as she’s an anthropologist. They had been traveling around the Philippines for nearly a month at the time. El Nido was their last stop, not counting Manila.

“Are you a couple?” asked Leo.

“Yes, yes,” stated Kate. “We’ve been together for three years.”

“Oh, getting married soon, I bet?” added Leo.

And then there was silence. uncomfortable silence.

It was a long, unpleasant moment, as well as nobody stated anything. We just looked at one another. “Oh Leo,” stated Ayn, one more buddy of mine. “Stop asking uneasy questions!”

At that point, our boatmen revealed that our lunch was ready. saved by the boatmen!

We had been sharing the boat with Kate as well as Rene, our new Danish friends, however it wasn’t up until we were lazing at Payong-Payong beach, waiting on lunch, that we started a conversation. As our boatmen prepared lunch as well as after we introduced ourselves, we lastly had time to talk about where we were.

Payong-Payong beach is one of the lots of white sand beaches of Miniloc Island. like a lot of beaches in El Nido, it is likewise dotted with limestone cliffs, although not as tall as the others. Still, it was absolutely comforting to stay under their shade. On one side of the beach, the waves rolled a lot more gently. On the other, they were stronger as well as a lot more violent. Although all of us went swimming at one point, a lot of of our time was spent sitting on the sand, admiring the surroundings, as well as exchanging stories. It’s always great to make new buddies particularly on a trip.

MASA DE PRANZ! We had chicken, fish, veggies, as well as fruits!
Just like the day before, our lunch was composed generally of grilled food, prepared at the beach. We had grilled fish, grilled chicken, ensaladang talong, cucumbers, tomatoes, as well as bananas. As expected, there was as well much food for everybody however we somehow handled to devour everything.

We sat on one of the rocks on the other side of the beach as well as just let the strong waves play with our feet.

“You’re extremely lucky,” Kate stated to us. “You have a gorgeous country.”

Da facem.

Update (August 24, 2013): Rene as well as Kate have lastly connected the knot! Congrats to them!
