Puerto Princesca

From Bohol we flew into Puerto Princesca. In retrospect we could have skipped it or just had one night here. We stayed far out, and whilst it was beautiful and cool to stay in a remote area, it was a little too remote for us, especially since the weather was bad

Accomodation
We stayed at B&R hostel. It was owned by 2 sisters, and had so much potential. There was hot water, a cool on site bar and they made delicious food. The rooms had A/C and plugs. Basically, it should have been great. But it was in the middle of nowhere, there were very few other guests and unfortunately the weather was awful. They helped us book our onwards travel though they overcharged, and as the hostel had no wifi or signal we were very much trapped there

Food
We mainly ate at the hostel. The food was good and cheap, and there were nice veggie options. I did have a meal at the beach, which was pretty much just white rice and salad. Fancy x

Things to do/see
Beach- the hostel was near a beach, which we ventured down to a couple of times. However; the 20 minute steep downhill walk wasn't so bad, but going back up was truly horrible. In the humidity and heat the whole experience was not worth it as the weather wasn't even very nice while we were there. We ended up hitchhiking a lift up the hill which made it a lot more bearable

View point- the other attraction was a nearby view point, which was okay, and not as far as the beach. However; other than the view there was nothing to do here and there was a monkey chained up which was sad

Getting to/from
We flew into the airport there and took an Uber to our hostel. Onwards we were going to El Nido, and there are loads of buses going every hour. We went early in the morning and got one which we booked through the hostel, but if you're up for a risk you could just find one by waiting by the main road
