It seems that so much happens and yet when I sit down to type....I can't think of a thing to say!

Last night Lynda and I wandered around the townsite of El Nido and as interesting as it was to be right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of this touristy little city it was good to get back to Novie's where the busy'ness is nothing in comparison to downtown!  We spent some of the evening visiting with our adopted "family" and then had a few hysterics once we headed to our room for the night.

We haven't seen too many mosquitos here and as we have air con in the room I didn't bother to put my mosquito net down over my bed UNTIL......a massive cockroach materialized on the wall above the head of my bed!!!  Eeeeekkkkkk!  In the end my mosquito net was tucked in tightly under my mattress the whole way around my bed and Lynda was on her own with no mossie net to protect her. :) tee hee. :). I did tell her she could come in under my net but she opted to tough it out UNTIL......some other massive creature started scratching on the roof and walls of our room!  Double Eeeeeeekkkkkk!  Amidst our screams and giggles whatever it was finally seemed to settle down  and we were both able to get to sleep.

Don't feel too badly for us though because for $22.50/night each....what can we expect?! :). Actually....it is a really great little place and the reality is that cockroaches live in the tropics which means we are in their "hood" after all.  Both of us would totally stay at Novie's again and in fact this morning we booked ourselves in for two additional nights which means we'll be here for 4 nights in total.

Today we spent the day at Los Cabanas (a beach about 10 minutes away) where we sunned and swam and sunned and swam....and oh ya....had a beer or two in there too. :)

Tomorrow we're booked to go out on Tour A so it will be a full day of adventures on the boat.

Till next time,
