Our itinerary

On Tuesday 24th April we have train from Edinburgh to London Heathrow (£20 advance single, the same price return). Then flight at 20:00. We paid for flights £520 return (Cathay Pacific) from London Heathrow to Manila, changing in Hong Kong (2hrs transfer).

The next day we have accommodation for one night in Manila in Great Eastern Hotel Makati for which we paid around £30 per room.

After one night in Manila we fly to Puerto Princesa which will cost around £40 one way. One or two nights in Puerto to get some info from locals about the Island and we will be heading North to Taytay and El Nido.

For now the Island is located somewhere near Taytay or Linapacan (maybe we will go to Cadlao Island near El Nido) but we will decide when we will be in PP.


Mabuhay!
Stay tuned.
