Puerto Princesa, Palawan: Underground River

Image
From Sabang wharf, a motorized boat took us to the entrance of the national park for 20 minutes. A boardwalk winding through dense jungle thickets lead us to the mouth of the cave. There a boatman guided us and shown us the wonders waiting for us inside. It is very hard to take the monkeys' picture On our way to the cave, I was so frightened of the roaming monkeys around us, We tried to take their pictures but they were so wild and they move around so fast. I held my things securely for they might snatch it, as warned by our tour Guides "Watch your things carefully for the monkeys might snatch it from you!" I kept that in mind and that made me nervous all the way inside that jungle! We also had fun looking at the big " bayawak ", a big monitor lizard. This is the cave entrance. People working there will take your pictures and it's up to you if you would like to buy them. Pictures they took is not expensive...

Oh my... How will I start this... Of course we had a very tiring day on our City Tour so we slept so soundly in our very comfortable rented Guesthouse. We woke up early to pack our things for our next tour.

I can't swim but I like the feeling of soaking in the water! and floating! FYI! haha... Of course, we have a Tour Guide, her name is Ate Sharon. What's cool about our tour guides, they are not fluent but they can express themselves clearly using the English Language, as I have observed when some tourists laugh at their jokes...lol!  On our way we were amazed at the splendid top view of Ulugan Bay, and marvel at the karst limestone mountains and elephant cave.   The spot is too boring to take a picture so he lifted me up!

 Credit to the owner of this picture. Thanks! I want to share my short travel story in Palawan, Philippines. My first ever two weeks travel with my handsome cousin. I have to  cut it to some parts, a lot of things happened day after day after day and sometimes it's already mixed altogether in my mind... lol. It's been a year but most experiences were still fresh that it seems like it was just yesterday. And this is the first part. Hope you enjoy it. The story started when my cousin asked me to come with him and travel two weeks in Palawan.  Here it goes...! (Fingers crossed) Credit to the owner of this picture. Thanks! All my bags are packed and ready to fly in a busplane. We rode a taxi all the way to the airport. I was so innocent like a child inside the airport, I saw airplanes lifting up and landing behind a big window glass.I went to the washroom and texted my cousin, I left him in a coffee house. Here's what I told him. "Hey cousin, I ...
