Thursday 20 Dec - Puerto Princesa to Port Barton

Left Puerto Princesa today. Picked up by a mini van, picked up some others from the airport who were heading straight to Port Barton rather than having a stopover here. I managed to sleep most of the way. Earphones in, music on, eyemask on, towel at my neck and woke up in Port Barton. Nothing to do with the lack of sleep through the night or the slight hangover!! We arrived around noon and headed straight to our accomodation. The place is called 'Elsas Garden' and its actually not bad. We had opted for one of the huts on the beach and although your usual basic hut, it was clean and presentable - but still cold shower. Lol. We unloaded our bags in hut and headed out to explore the area. A nice small village with bars, huts and restaurants along the beach. More the sort of thing we've been looking for. We sat and had a few drinks on beach and then walked for an hour or so around the village checking out what was on offer. Lots of backpackers here, all just relaxing and taking in the surroundings. We found ourselves in a part where people must sit, just to watch the sunset and it was lovely. You will see from our pics how nice it looks. We headed back to the foyer of our accomodation and sat, had something to eat and then bed. Wasn't too late a night as we are still catching up on sleep. Jack was out like a log, and I sat and read for an hour or so before putting my head down. Slept like a log and didnt want to get up in the morning.. something's never change...
