For our Day 3, my friends and I were having a hard time deciding where will we be going because the weather was not as sunny as the day before. But since we don't want to waste a precious day in El Nido, we decided to visit the 20km white sand marvel of Duli Beach and Nagkalit-kalit Falls, which our host gladly suggested.
We again hired Kuya Buknoy's tap-down for the day. He informed us ahead though that the road going to Duli Beach was a bit difficult so we still need to walk. Well, that's not a problem for us adventure-seeking kids! Game on!
Although the sky was a bit gloomy, the sight of lush greens greeted us as we walk going to Duli Beach.
I was busy snapping pictures here and there that I am always left behind.
We enjoyed our walk and filled our lungs with fresh probinsiya air.

| I can already see the beach! Wooot!!! |
I was expecting a crowd similar to that of Nacpan but to my surprise, we were the only ones in the beach! There is no entrance fee or whatsover and there are no stores nearby. It was truly secluded and its like having the whole beach for yourself!
 |
| A bit gloomy eh? |
The waves were a bit rough due to the weather, so for safety's sake, we contented ourselves with just exploring the area and of course taking tons and tons of pictures!
While walking by the shoreline, we were still expecting to find even a single store. It was already lunch time and we are worrying where will we eat. We saw an establishment but it was still on construction; they only offer sodas in can since the bar-resto was still in progress.

We headed to back to Bucana first to have lunch. We ate at this bar-resto called Shoreline and there we met some foreigners who gladly had lunch with us. They were a group of Spanish people and one American who were staying at the same hostel. They were volunteering to teach English at a public elementary school in Bucana. I had a blast chatting with them and we even taught them a little bit of Tagalog.

| Here we come Nagkalit-kalit Falls! |
Going to Nagkalit-kalit Falls was around 40 minutes of land travel. From Bucana, before you get to Nacpan Beach, you will see this sign on the road. Tour guide fee was Php 150.00 per pax plus Php 20.00 for the gate pass. According to our tour guide, the trek is a good 30 to 40 minutes and we will be crossing 8 streams before we reach the falls.

| The reliable Kuya Buknoy :) |
We finally reached Nagkalit-kalit Falls! Kuya Buknoy volunteered to look after our things because he wont be swimming. Although, I think there is no need for that since we were the only ones (again) in the area. We were sooo excited to take a dip that we didn't mind the chilly water. Seriously, the water was almost ice cold that my teeth was chattering. It was drizzling on our way up, so that helped in the coldness of the water.

| More fun in the Philippines! |
We stayed there for an hour or so because we need to walk again for another 40 minutes going down, plus crossing again the 8 streams.
We called our adventures for the day as "The Not So Popular Spots in El Nido" hehe..
Today was our last day in El Nido because we will be travelling back to Puerto Princesa tomorrow.
Our adventure there was really bitin and we wished that we could have stayed longer. Aside from the popular island hopping activities, there are many spots in El Nido that are worth visiting. With that, we promised that we are definitely coming back J
