It's already our third day in El Nido and it seems I am getting a good grasp of the place. I'm getting used to the vibe of the town. Who wouldn't be? You walk a little bit further and you'll end up in rows of bars and restaurants fronting the sea. The place itself feels like a stone encapsulated by the towering edges of limestone peaks. It is crawling with tourists who always exhibit a friendly demeanor, making striking up a conversation feel second nature. The locals elevate hospitality to another level by greeting everyone with a warm smile, while tour proprietors politely offer island hopping packages to anyone walking around town.
