puerto princesa and el nido adventure
27th of august 2009
thursday in puerto princesa
first day of a five-day adventure in palawan
from puerto princesa airport to sabang to the subterranean national river park...
una muna, puerto princesa!
into the big, dark cave -- to experience the subterranean river national park adventure -- and out again
the puerto princesa subterranean national river park is a UNESCO world
heritage site. the underground river tour requires tolerance for the smell of bat dung, ounces of imagination, and respect for nature's ways.

31st of august 2009
holiday monday in puerto princesa
fifth day of a five-day adventure in palawan
day 5 in palawan: back to puerto princesa after 3 days of el nido adventure
we moved out of el nido so early in the morning -- a little past after 2am
-- and braved the dark, bumpy, long stretch that led us back to puerto princesa.
we had some tire trouble shortly after we started our dawntime trip. we stopped over for breakfast at tawnsayt.
we were finally back in puerto princesa at around 9am and we had enough time to experience and see more of puerto princesa: the public market, ka lui, iwahig prison and penal farm, and the crocodile farm and nature park.
personally recommended musts when in puerto princesa: (1) experience dining in ka lui and (2) visit iwahig!
