Puerto Princesa Underground River

I always wanted to see the PPUR (Puerto Princesa Underground River), but never had a chance, until September last year when my officemates invited me to join with them..

We had three different flight times due to CebuPac's seat sale is over and I had to buy ticket from other local airlines. So, I bought mine at Zest Air (it's P1,100 …

When we started researching the Philippines, the first thing that caught my eye was the Puerto Princesa Underground River on Palawan Island. Because of this, I started looking more into Palawan and what was on offer there and then discovered that it is the less travelled and less touristy island. This, of course, is very much my cup of tea and …

Llegamos a la isla de Palawan luego de un largo rodeo por las islas y Manila… Tomamos el avión desde el pequeño aeropuerto de Kalibo hasta Manila, (unos 50 minutos) vía Cebu Pacific Airlines (aerolínea filipina y de bajo costo), llegando al aeropuerto Ninoy Aquino en Manila. Este aeropuerto está dentro de la ciudad (no como Clark, el que est …

There's a stark difference between a traveler and a tourist, and today, when we were the last 2 people to clamber into a minivan with 6 Filipinos for our underground river trip and the commentary began, it became instantly clear that it was going to be a tourist-trap type of day.

Our guide was chirpy and well-meaning, and, though I'm …

Vara vara ülesse. See hotelli omanik sebis meile maa-aluse jõe piletid. Täiesti uskumatu :D Eestis olles kui me olime Palawani lennu ära ostnud, siis avastasime, et kui sinna maa-alla tahta, siis peab ikka mitu kuud varem ära aja bronnima. Selleks ajaks oli muidugi kõik täis bronnitud. Ja lugesime veel reisijate kommentaare, et isegi kui kohale lä …

THE ROAD. Our tourist guide named Ernie picked us in the hotel at 0700H. On the way, we picked us a couple, and a family with four members. All of us have the same status as explained by Ernie.

Was lucky enough to spend Easter with my parents and my Aunt Annette in Palawan. It was certainly a family holiday to remember. Got to share the beautiful island paradise of Palawan with my family and also got the chance to get away from Manila for a while to enjoy beautiful beaches, incredible food, my family and fresh air! Did a day of island …
