PP Palawan Day 3 - Honda Bay Island Hopping

Palawan Tour will not be complete without Island hopping. We need to see and experience the beautiful Honday Bay Island! Call time is 7am so again me and grace wake up early and have our breakfast. We don’t have waterproof camera but it’s good that when we arrived in boat docking area, locals’ offers digital camera waterproof case for rent amounting to P300.00. I rented one ‘coz I want to capture colorful fishes. 

Fist Stop: Pambato Reef

I really love to see different kind of fish and corals. Ganda ng mga isda and corals sa pambato reef. Our tour guide took picture of us near a big clam.

Second Stop: Snake Island

The locals called it Snake Island because it has a hundred meter long sand bar shape like snake. While we are in this island, andun din sina Carla Abellana at nagshohoot ng ponds commercial.xD 

I love the island. The water is so clear and it has white sand. We had our lunch here. Sarap ng food namin as usual. Fish, Chicken, Shrimp,Veggies and Banana. Nagpaluto rin kami ng crabs at libre un ni Lizeth.. hehe We are sooo full. J

Jump shot!

Sun Bathing ulit! :P

May kasunod kaming foreigner nung iniikot namin ang isla at nagpunta sila sa meyo malayo pero mababaw pa rin na part. Gusto rin sana namin pumunta kaso we choose na ituloy nalang namin ang paglalakad.. Kasama nga pala naming dito ung isa naming bangkero. Sya ang gaming naging photographer.. :P Sumunod din pala sa amin si Lizeth and she took picture of the two foreigner sa malayo.. When she/we viewed the photo, walang damit ung 2 as in nude sila pero we understand them..:D 

The water is so clear

Ang Linaw!

Nag snorkeling din kami uli dito at kahit hanggang knee mo lang ung water eh meron ng fish. Daming Donghae! xD 

Hindi nga lang kami masyadong nagtagal sa Island na to kasi some of other tourist eh need na makabalik dahil flight na nila pabalik ng Manila. Un lang ang hindi maganda pag hindi exclusive yong tour nyo. booo! That is what I learned abour this trip. xD

With other tourist

Pagbalik ko sa lugar na to, I/we will assure na exclusive for us na yong tour para masaya at hawak mo talaga ung oras mo.. hehe

PP Palawan Day 2 - Ugong Rock and Kalui Resto

This is not included in our tour package. It cost 500 pesos for this. Side trip lang kasi to. It's up to you if you want to experience a mountain climbing and zipline or not. Eh gusto namin un ni Grace so we grabbed it! :P By the way, they call it Ugong Rock kasi umuugong sya pag tinutoktok mo ung bato. May kakaibang sound. Parang walang laman sa loob ung rock.. ^^ This is also handled by ABS-CBN Foundation Bantay Kalikasan. 

L-R: Grace, DS, Hyelee, Me and Lizeth

Nakakapagod umakyat pero go parin kami kasi we are adveturous. We like adventures!

Si Grace sa makipot na daan. ^^

Need ng rope para makaakyat sa taas. Super exciting talaga. :)

Me

Pawis-pawis at pagod  na . haha

Sarap ng feeling when we reached the top kasi medyo mahangin sya. Ganda rin ng view, :)

Me at the top of the mountain

May choices pababa, it's either same trail nung umakyat ka or zipline. Sympre kami we choose the "ZIPLINE"! Yohooo! Medyo hesitant nga lang ako nung una kasi takot ako at medyo may fear talaga ako sa heights. Pero sabi ko, kaya ko to! So after trying, sarap pala. Medyo nakakatot lang talaga nung una kasi super slant sya. Mga 90 degrees at parang mawawalan ka ng hininga but when you overcome it, SARAP! :) First time ko rin magzipline so this experienced was very unforgettable talaga. :) 

Here I come!

Me!

After the very tiring but awesome and super fun day, we made a reservation in Kalui restaurant for dinner. According to the other tourist, Kalui Resto served delicious food at very affordable price. Kelangan nagpapareserve ka talaga kasi kung on the spot ka pumunta ron, wala kang table na makukuha.

Picture picture muna outside the restaurant while waiting for our table and for Lizeth.

Saktong dating ni Lizeth, available na ung table namin. We ordered sea foods~~^^!

Raw fish with fruits, buttered garlic shrimp, buttered crab, fish and fruits

We returned to the hotel after the sumptuous dinner to relax and rest for the next day tour. :D

PP Palawan Day 2 - Underground River

Call time is 6am so we ate breakfast at 5:30am. The free breakfast in the hotel is Continental breakfast (coffee and bread ) pero hindi un nakakabusog (takaw eh! hehe) so pinaupgrade ko sya into Filipino Breakfast. You need to add 70 pesos. 

Longsilog

The Underground River is not near. We travel via land for about 2 hours with 1 stop over for those who want to pee.

Me and Grace

And another 20mins via boat. 

Honestly, I am very much excited to see the Underground River. Sympre, very famous kaya to..

Walkway to the River

The Undergroud River is superb! Talagang napaWOW Philippines talaga ako. The water is so clean and clear at the entrance. 

Entrance

I'm a bit scary and excited while we are entering the Underground River. Basta mixed emotion. Baka kasi matrap kami ron, may ahas or mahulugan kami ng ahas or etc. Kung ano ano na naisip ko.. hehe Pagpasok namin sa loob, wow! The're are lots of stalagmites and stalactites inside. Beautiful!

Stalagmites shape like Nativity

Stalactites shape like Puso ng Saging

Met new friends also from this tour. Lizeth from Mexico and DS and Hye Lee from Korea

Lizeth, Hye Lee, Me and Grace. DS is our photog.. ^^

We leaved the area with smile in our face. :) So it's lunch time! My favorite part during the tour.. wahaha! The food was yummy at buffet style sya! Meaning eat all you can!:D

Grilled fish, liempo, chicken adobo, adobong kangkong and rice

After eating our lunch, we headed up to Ugong Rock... continue...

PP Palawan Day 1

Me and and friend arrived in Puerto Princesa, Palawan via Philippine Airlines at 6pm of March 3, 2011 and we stayed in Deloro Inn, it's a 3 min ride from the airport. The hotel is OK and the people there are very accommodating.  They gave us mango juice as a welcome drinks.. ^^

Welcome Drinks

We occupied the Standard Aircon Room and the room and bathroom are very clean. The room has refrigerator, cable TV, cabinet, table and chair and hot & cold shower. Sorry if we did not take picture of our room. Just check their website to view the rooms.^^;;

The Restaurant

After putting all our things in the room, we decided to explore the "Baywalk of Puerto Princesa".

Me and the PP seal (Peacock)

There are many small stall or "Tsanggi" that time in Baywalk so we buy some pearl. The pearls and  coral stones there are very cheap and you can ask theme to make our own design at a very reasonable price.

Pearls and Coral stones

Street food are also available in Baywalk. Gutom na kami noon kaya kain muna ng barbeque at isaw.. ^^;;

After exploring Baywalk, we decided to go back to the hotel and take a rest kasi we need to wake up pa early on the next day for Underground River tour. :)
