Day 1 - Strolling at the City
Here at the Puerto Princesa airport waiting for our trip going back to Manila, we spent 4days and 3 nights at the last frontier of the Philippines. Puerto Princesa is quite different from the last time I visited 8 years ago. They already have big department stores, Robinson's is on it's way to completion with it's GoHotel beside the mall.
We arrived at the Puerto Princesa airport around 12:30pm, a hotel relation officer from Kawayanan Resort fetch us with Its resort vehicle. We had Lunch at the resort they prepared delicious seafoods which we did really enjoyed. After the good meal, we rested for awhile and we begin our city tour activity with our cute and lovely tour guide, Angel.
We first went to their bay walk site, it's similar with Manila baywalk they only differ on the on the cleanliness of air and the bay, lol. Our next stop was their Immaculate Conception Chruch, it is one of Palawan's oldest church, Thanks to Angel for bringing us there for we had the chance to pray and meditate. Then followed by at the Souvenir Tiangge where you can buy original pearls either fresh or salt water pearls at the most lowest price.

Day2 - our day two was our underground river tour, the PPUR was already confirmed and officially declared as one of the new 7 wonders of nature for 2012. Underground river is located at Sabang and it is 2hrs away from Puerto Princesa. Your trip is not complete without visiting the famous underground river. From the Sabang wharf, it takes more or less 15 minutes boat ride to the river entrance and you can take pictures with its great rock formation, you can also see some bayawaks on the ground and also monkeys, but take good care of your personal belongings because they might steal it from you, beware of bringing plastics bags for this will sight them as foods, don't feed them.
I am still amazed with all the formation inside the river, some of it was still the same 8years ago but there some that are new. Our boatman has a lot of humors there is no dull moment during the whole underground river cruise, I guess they were trained very well with their local government.

Day3 - island hopping at Honda bay
I was really excited with this activity, I love the corals, I love the fishes, I love everything under the sea. We had our coral watching and snorkeling at the Pambato Coral Reef, It's a joint project with ABS-CBN and the local government.
We had our lunch at the snake island, it's a long stretch of white island - snake shaped thats why they call it snake island. You can enjoy your snorkeling here, you can find fishes just few steps from the shore, surely kids and all ages will enjoy this scenery. We supposed to visit another island but due to bad weather and huge waves, our tour guide decided to spend the whole afternoon at snake island which my companions really enjoyed it. We went back to the wharf at around 4pm and we experienced huge waves upon going back that made my companions nervous,, okay me included.. Hehehehee. When we arrived at the resort we spent our time soaking at the pool, oh yeah!
Day4- departed puerto Princesa at morning, and went back home bringing all the memories we had at the fascinating island of Palawan.
