Captioned Puerto Princesa

I'll try to tell my trip to Puerto Princesa by means of captions and photos and not be too wordy... for a change. :)

Meet Poseidon! I couldn't resist not buying because it's too darn adorable!! Like me in this photo. :P

DAY 1: Tour of Puerto Princesa, city of Flora and Fauna. Palawan is 70% evergreen, earthquake-free (because from what I heard, their island is made of solid rock) and home to tropical forests and unique plants and flowers species from around Southeast Asia. Too bad I didn't saw one of those Venus Flytraps, Pitcher Plants and the likes. 
 

First meal here in Puerto, first customers of Badjao Seafront for that day.

First stop of the city tour is Puerto's version of Baywalk 

A perfect jumpshot despite the hard wind

Baker's Hill, for your sweet tooth and a view of statues which are by the way not bakers

!

People of Palawan probably didn't know that Donald is part of Disney and not Looney Toons. Where's Daffy? Bugs and Babs miss you.

A Kalesa with a wooden horse

Snow White and the 8 dwarfs. 

You want a piece of me??

Crocodile Meat tastes gummy! Yes we tried it and it's delish!

When bearcats gone wild, boy he's heavy!

Watch out for the coming Asianovela entitled, Gracia and the Bearcat! Coming Soon!

Weaving takes time, Gracia eager to learn?

DAY 2: Ugong Rock Adventure and the Famous Underground River Tour!

For the adventurer, definitely add this to your itinerary! 

At the entrance, ready to go spelunking!

It's called Ugong Rock because if you knock on them, it resonates sound. Which the logical explanation for that would be .... because it's hollow rocks and we're in a cave right?

Construction workers on flipflops! Oh c'mon, I'm wearing a pink hard hat! :P

Is there such a thing as rappelling upwards? :P This is approximately 20ft high.

I did it and I deserve water!

Use the zipline! It's more fun than sweating climbing back down Ugong Rock!

I believe this is 285 ft high? Don't raise your arms while going down or you're gonna end up like me swinging all over! The wind will blow you off course.

Vote for the Underground River to be part of the 7 Wonders of Nature in the World!

Marble forming

It is absolutely dark inside with low oxygen levels. Inside the cave also smells of bat dung.

Oh maddening gale of the spirits of the Earth.. Stalagmite! - Jade from Tales of the Abyss

Going back to the boat and done with the tour. Rock formation behind us.

Look who's tired?

DAY 3: Honda Bay, Island Hopping and Snorkeling. We have great photos here taken by our tour guide, Jesse. I'll just be adding those cool photos.

Witches on board sticks and one on an actual broom stick! I'm casting Crucio on her. :P

We can make San Miguel good ads. :)

Kick the can, kick the can!

We all came from the coconut. Not from Adam's rib!

Giant Starfish on shore!

Owwww, I'm being shrunk.

There you go! You can view the rest of the photos on my facebook. Tons of photos like spam mail. :P This post is similar to a picture book for Kindergarten Literature. :)

Kawayanan Resort for the Win!

Because of the absolutely kind and hospitable manager, Sheryl, I am promoting Kawayanan Resort located in Puerto Princesa! :) 

She was kind enough to allow us to go night swimming though hotel guests were the only ones permitted. This was around 7pm and we wanted to swim on a pool after all the adventure we went through! Day 2 of our trip was all about sweat! I guess we looked kind of pitifully tired and wasted so she went along with our ‘desperate plea look’ to swim. :)
