Anyway...
Iko and I spent our first anniversary in Puerto Princesa Palawan. We were both really excited since it was our first time to travel together.
The hotel that we stayed in was pretty nice. It wasn't my first choice, I wanted to stay at Microtel because it's near the beach, but then it was fully booked so we decided to take Hotel Centro instead. It's still not a bad choice though. Their swimming pool is big and pretty (especially at night) coz it has those dim colorful lights and stuff. The rooms, however, are a little bit small but that's fine. Not like you're gonna stay there all day, right? The hotel is about near the airport and it's easy to just take a tricycle, which is fairly cheap, to go to some restaurants.
We didn't want to waste time so we started our tour right on the same day we arrived. We ate lunch, had our tours booked, and was picked up by our tour guide for a City tour. We went to Mitra's Ranch, Baker's Hill, to a weaving place, Immaculate church and to my personal favorite, the Crocodile Farm. We also went to a market for pasalubong shopping. This was a very tiring tour since we we're walking for the whole day.
Our second day was booked for the famous Underground River. It took two a half hours to Sabang, a small port where you’d have to take an outrigger to get to the underground river. The drive there felt like a roller coaster. The view though, compensated the bad road, as we kept saying "Wow!" on our way. You will see mountains that are made of limestone which feels like you're somewhere on a different country. There are also wild monkey who will welcome you on the Underground River. It was so cool to see them that close. We were told by the tour guide not to show them our food as these monkeys are snatchers. There were also big bayawaks there which I didn't really care about. I think they look disgusting! The tour inside the Underground River didn't last that long but it was very beautiful and definitely worth it.
The next day (and last), we went on an island hopping on Honda Bay. We visited Pandan island, Snake island, and this place in the middle of the ocean where we saw corals and fishes. It was like we were in a big aquarium. The water was crystal clear and is perfect for snorkeling and fish feeding. To be honest, I like this tour better than the Underground River.
So yeah, that's about it. For those who are planning to go to Palawan, I suggest you stay there longer. There are more things and activities to do and three days won't be enough. It's very perfect for those who loves the beach like me. I'm pretty sure I will go back there again someday. I LOVE LOVE PALAWAN!!!
