Saturday, April 5th – Thursday, April 10th, 2025 World Tour Days 154 – 159 Our day began with a minivan pickup from our accommodations. It was packed when it arrived. We had to close the back quickly to avoid bags falling out, and Nick and I had to sit up front with the driver. The drive to El Nido took almost a full day, with many stops.

Our hostel was a 20 minute easy walk away from the Taj Mahal on a street full of other hostels, cafes, and restaurants. We could tell this place was set up for a lot of tourists. We were the only guests at our hostel, though, which we guessed was due to it being the start of summer. Nick and I could not walk anywhere on that street without being offered a tuk tuk ride every few…
