I woke up late, around 8am and felt a bit sunburnt and hoped it wouldn't peel like last time. I went to the bus station to sort out my ticket and went past the water place which filled up my bottle for no charge this time. At the bus station there was nobody at desk for Roro bus while all of the other companies tried to get me to go with them but they were more expensive. I waited until 9am when a bus came and the driver told me I can buy the tickets on bus. So I went for breakfast, back to the place from yesterday and had the rice and egg again. I went back to the inn and did most of my packing and showered and then I went to the beach for a last look around and went to K's rendezvous to see what it looked like after the party but they'd cleaned it all up. I went back and got my things and went to the bus station and at 11.20 the bus was there but it was quite hot on the bus so I just left my suitcase on the back row and sat in the cooler waiting area. The bus was was a pretty old thing and was mostly empty when it left but then went round corner and loads of kids got on. Later on it emptied and then father and son with cockerels boarded just like you hear stories about. We stopped for lunch soon after and more people got on and off the bus. 2 hours later and we stopped for food again so I got a few snacks like a boiled egg.
We arrived back in Puerto Princesa soon after 6pm and I got on a jeepney at the bus station that charged me for my suitcase as well so 26 pesos in total but I was in town around 7pm. I looked where the map said it was but I couldn't find my hostel as I'd booked into a different place called Edam and Ace hostel. I asked at a restaurant and the guy said he would phone but when I had dinner there it turned out he hadn't phoned maybe because I said it was ok. Anyway I left and found the hostel based on where the Agoda map said it was. The place looked ok, a bit small and had a gravel path to it like Fanta lodge did. I went to the internet place for a bit and had trouble with pictures rotating when I posted them on here. the place shut at 10pm and I went to get some food from street vendor, mainly the cheap fish balls. then I decided to see what the airport was like so I walked there but it was shut. I went back to hostel and wondered if their name was supposed to be Edam and Ave - like Adam and Eve but with the letters transposed. I did a few emails and then slept
