I like this little town with no Atm´s in northern Palawan, seems lay back and relaxed after what I have seen the first days here. Have had my dinner on the beach this days, nor sure if it is more expencive then the streets inside, but it is nice to sit down there, even if the dinner have been by myself this days. That is a bit boring, but it is the way it is.
I was suppose to check in at Casa Cecilia the day after I got here, but I got myself a surprise when I got there, they had made an overbooking and had found another hotel for me the first two nights. Told them that I was very unhappy of that, but it was not much to do about it, and they took my by tricycle over to another hotel, The Big Greek Mansion on the other side of town. The other side of town meen maybe 10 minuttes slow walking, even it is was some construction around the hotel, and the hotel did not looked like it was finnished it was ok. Big room with tv and breakfast in the morning on the balcony outside the room. So the people of the Casa Cecilia took good care of me when they had done wrong, all credit to them for that.
Today, Friday, the staff from Casa Cecilia came and picked me up again and took me to my room for the next ten days, stay here till April 15th. I will not change hotel one more time in El Nido, 3 hotels in one place is enough. I like the one I have now, not a big room, but away from the main street on the back of the building, a good bed, breakfast on the roof, nice little bathroom with hot water, AC till at least 9 in the morning, by then I will be out most days. Not said that yet I think, they cut the power here in town at most places from 06-14 every place. Then it is good to have power till 09:) Happy with this hotel.

I got myself an unpleasent surprise the evening before I went out diving, when I checked my flash I could not get it on, I opened the battery chamber and it was a mess inside. As it turned out I have had salt water in it from the the last dive in Komodo, a night dive a Canibal rock the day I got sick during night. Salt water an batteries do not make a good combination, I flushed it with fresh water in the shower, and the battery chamber is sealed off from the rest of the flash, there is some rust that need more attention, but I hope I have managed to stop the rust attac, and I have managed to get it working again, and hope it stays that way. Will test it during diving again tomorrow, and will check it after the dives if water have gotten in again.
I can not get over how hot it is, after some visits to south east Asia I should be able to remember it, but it do not seams like it. Sitting at the Art Cafe right now writing this sweaty words, the time is 19:30, and the sweat is dripping off me. It is really disquesting to feel how it is running down from the top of the head, down the back, and it is not anything to do about it. Or, at least as long as you want to stay outside of any AC, and I am not getting used to it. Yeah, I am complaining a bit of the heat, but I have no right to it since I have chosed, and kept on chosing to go to this hot humid climat, so I better keep my mount shot. :) I should really preciate the chill and cold I feel when I dive in 27 degrees Celsius and get cold, will try to remember that tomorrow,
