It was the first flight of the sibs, and my first domestic flight
The trip was from a package in Metro Deal. As we arrive to the airport, a van has been waiting for us to take us to our hotel and ate our breakfast. From there on, we started the tour of the city, Puerto Princesa.
Palawan Wildlife and Conservation Center
The Crocodile Farm!
The skeleton of one of the largest crocodile seen in the Philippines.
On our first destination for our city tour, we met some crocodiles. Yup. Some of them. And no, I didn’t have the courage to take a picture with them. Nope.
Mynah
Eagle. Very majestic.
Mitra’s Ranch
Baker’s Hill
Plaza Cuartel
The Cathedral Immaculate Conception Cathedral
Rizal’s monument in front of the cathedral.
Beach in the Suburbs
After the city tour, we went back to the hotel and ate, then rode a tricycle to take us to the nearest beach which is maybe at least an hour away. The trike driver took us to the Emerald Playa Beach Resort located in Bgy. San Jose. The beach was stunning, since it was full of mangroves and star fish.
Sabang Beach
En route to the Underground River, we rode a bangka docked at Sabang Beach. The Underground River is situated between the St. Paul Bay and the Babuyan River.
The Underground River and the National Park Bayawak
No, don’t feed the monkey.
Sand bars are amazing!
Entrance to the cave.
Picturesque
Exiting the cave.
I kind of don’t like bats. I fear the guano.
Since it was drizzling, we never went to other sites in the Park.
Puerto Princesa City Baywalk
We also decided to go to some place at night. Failed to find a coffee shop afterwards, but it was a nice place to go biking and eat some grilled meat. And of course, there’s something about night time by the bay.
Honda Bay Island Hopping
Island hopping the next morning.
First, Snorkeling in Pambato Reef. Underwater photos of corals should be credited to the Bangkero (Filipino for “boatman”). Pretty awesome shots there, Kuya!
Next stop was the Luli Island. It was coined because of its non-existence during high tide (“Lu” as in “lulubog”, Filipino for “sinking”), and being present at low tide (“Li” as in “lilitaw”, Filipino for “appearing”). We had the chance to feed some fish, and also tried the diving plank. What a thriller.
The last stop is the Cowrie Island. We ate our lunch here, and spent the rest of the day bumming by the beach.
A Sand dollar!
To cap off our trip, it was also our first night flight.

I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs
really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark
your site to come back later on. Cheers
certainly like your website however you have to take a look at the
spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are
rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the reality
on the other hand I’ll surely come back again.
