Palawan Revisited

Finally had time to post after our fateful palawan trip...
Scrap the Itinerary... We followed it until we got to El Nido...
Blame Typhoon Nina... It was windy and there was an on and off Drizzle of Rain...
We slept at at the resort... Non-Stop prayers for good weather the next day...
But... Still wind and rain and Big Waves... We asked for the weather back in Puerto Princesa, they said it was ok, so we decided to just go back...

A glimpse of El Nido

After 8 long long hours of rough road travel, were back at Puerto Princesa, 30 minutes late for our reservations at Ka Lui, good thing there was a vacant table for us... Another sumptuous dinner for my Birthday! (Last year we had my Birthday Dinner at a Cruise at Chao Praya River, Bangkok)

Birthday Dinner at Ka Lui

The next Day we woke up with smiling faces because finally saw the sun! We were all eager to Island Hopping at Honda Bay. But first we went to the Market to buy seafoods for lunch. With a budget of Php 600 we were able to buy, 1/2 kilo of prawns, 3 pcs Tanigue Steak, 4 pcs Squid, a Big Parrot fish, half kilo Rice, Calamansi, Toyo, Tomatoes, Bananas and Green Mangoes, Mineral Water, Softdrinks, Ice and Charcoal... All Set to go!



After Island Hopping, we went to the New Market to Buy Dried Fish and Kasoy (Cashew Nuts) for Pasalubong. Then had late Meryenda/early dinner at Baker's Hill.
The next day we woke up real early (4:30 a.m.) for our Underground River Tour.




We may not have been able to enjoy El Nido at its best (but we swear we'll be back with a vengeance next year summer), Thank God there was good weather at Puerto Princesa.
Palawan is always worth coming back to... Clean, Green, Fresh Air, Fresh Seafoods, Warm and friendly People!
Palawan again next Year!
