Hi guys! Its September once again the start of the “BER” months. Yay! As a welcome bash, I will be starting a new series of posts in my blog covering some of my most unforgettable travel experience. I will also try to come up with a collection of memories and useful tips for sharing. I may post some trips way back, but this might take a while-need to scan oldie pictures pa. hehehe!
I got a wonderful blessing and opportunity (thank you Lord) to visit Palawan last year with my friend John Jay and his mom Tita Virgie. It took me a while to finally post these photos. I really wanted to give Majestic Palawan a well-documented write-up with all the right adjectives written for justice.
With this, I did a standard template for all travel posts. And here is my first attempt at it. Read away!
Best time to visit: Summer or anytime sunny. (One, the beach is really best experienced with the heat of the sun touching the skin. We came on a December so it’s sort of raining and gloomy the whole time. Two, there are instances, specifically on rainy seasons when the Underground River is closed for tours.
Must-see/visit: Underground River, Honda bay- Starfish and Snake Island, among others.
Best place to eat: KA LUI is definitely a winner!
Best activity: Fish-feeding and diving!
Where to shop: Rizal Avenue where all the cheap finds converge. Hahah!
Bits more: - Puerto Prinsesa strictly prohibits smoking and littering and they are on citizen arrest. Sorry for the smokers. But it’s super clean and smoke-free everywhere.
- Food is really cheap in Palawan. Actually, almost everything is sooo affordable! Good for kuripot people like me! Heheh!
- The Tourism Industry and the system for tourists are very commendable. Tour guides, divers and all tourist attendants are extra friendly and warm and well-trained.
- Primary mode of transportation around the city is pedicab.
- Bawal ang maarte (for lack of better terms). Hahaha! During day tours and few stop-over, the possibility of getting wet all over, slipping, falling, getting bruised or cut needs to be clear and welcomed with caution. All part of lovely and memorable trip!
Next Palawan destination, Coron!
-carpe diem-
