Day 14: Jungle trekking, Nagkalit-kalit waterfall & Nacpan beach

This morning I had quite a slow and lazy morning, and after I woke I noticed that I’d gained a number of bites all over my body, so after treating them, by 10:30 we’d hired a bike/scooter type thing and we were heading up to Nagkalit-kalit waterfall. After about 20 min ride up through the villages and beautiful countryside we got to the start of the trekk, a local asked if we wanted a guide for P400 (6 pounds), we decided to save our pesos and try and find it ourselves. It was beautiful jungle with all sorts of different trees and bamboos, rivers streams and bogs, all sorts of wildlife that you could see and hear. And of course we got very lost for about an hour taking the wrong route. After backtracking and taking a few different routes we finally found the waterfall, it was really pretty (unfortunately my pictures didn’t take correctly), it is dry season so there wasn’t that much water coming down it, but it was nice and cool and we’d only seen about 6 tourists in our 2 hour trek to find it and get back, so it was nice secluded and ours for a moment as we had a lovely dip.

After walking back we biked further off to Napcan beach. As we biked along, the road suddenly went from smooth new concrete to dirt and rock road, so we went a lot slower and more cauciously. But when we got their our breath was taken away as we saw this huuuuuuuuuuuge beach that just went on and on with such beautiful sand too. We stopped and had a meal in the only restraunt on the beach and enjoyed the view before wondering down the beach before we decided we had to start making our way back so we’d get there before the store closed.

We then went off and had a quick street curry, now I’m exhausted from all the heat and very much need my sleep.
