Liberty Park Pension Puerto Princesa

... of the rural regions around Puerto but the farther I got the worst the roads got. I made is as far as Honda Bay to the north (very worthwhile trip!) and a little beyond. On anorther journey to the south, I made it about halfway to Aborlan before the roads became too difficult to navigate. 6"-deep mud is no fun on a motorbike.

In all, I wish I had more time to explore Palawan. On my next trip I plan to spend more time here, especially around Busuanga and Coron.

... through the water a little bit to get to the beach.

We found a big starfish and took a photo with it. Then we went snorkelling we saw many fish and I got stung by a few fish too.

Then we went back on the boat and went to Snake Island. It was shaped as a snake. We bought bread to feed fish. We decided to feed the fish first. I fed a whole school of fish they whizzed past my ear. The deeper you ...

... minimal tourists. The wet weather was inhibiting our careless frolics on the beach. Sabang is also the gateway to the world's longest navigable underground river. The park had been temporarily closed due to the rain's heavy fall. What the hell were we going to do if it didn't stop raining?!?! The feeling came over each of us as we silently rifled through our bags and straightened the sunblock we had set on the shelf. We were both so uncomfortable. We had a strong feeling we ...

... running out of fuel but at a good moment near a fueling station and then drove back - arived at 6.30pm and I had to get the bike back by 7pm - it was close and a seriously packed day! Rowan had already gone on to El Nido with the German girls. Tina, Rita and Sean - a guy tina met over a travelers website to travel with all came to my guesthouse and I had met a very quiet Swiss girl so the 5 of us went out for a nice meal. It was a really good evening and ...

... baigne, je regarde, je bouquine. Un couple mixte arrive, lui, entre 50 et 60, vraiment tres tres gros, un allemand sans doute, flanque de sa locale, qui certes n'a pas la finesse extreme de certaines, comme la fille qui m'a servi mon petit dej, mais il est vrai qu'ici, des nanas de 325 ans peuvent en paraitre 12 et demie ! Je me dis que dans leurs ebats nocturnes, la fille doit s'exercer au grand ecart, ou ne pas pouvoir ...

... with fresh lobster - straight from the sea - and we negotiated to get two of the delicious delights for less than $10 Aus! A real treat. The second day we shared a small banca to Sabang where we went on another boat down the underground river. It was quite spectacular - probably the best underground river we have seen with large cavens and lots of colour on the walls. The guide told us at the 1 km point that we could pay more ...

... in Sabang i also went on a mangrove river tour and planted a mangrove tree, and checked out some cool waterfalls. Leaving sabang some Italians and i rented a boat to an island near Port Barton and stayed at coconut beach resort. They had pet monkeys the baby one jumped onto me and started kissing my neck, the mother was freaking out and then the baby monkey started freaking and bit my finger. Not badly though it's not infected or anything but i ...

... had i been stuffed into a jeepney bus for the 3.5 hour trip to sabang...one of my favourites was of a young boy leading a water buffalo(or was it an ox???need a refresher course on my zooology) on the road...i also stopped at various lookout points for some scenic shots...at one particular lookout, i noticed the ominous black clouds lurking in the distance, around just the area i was going...i also heard thunder, and i began mentaly preparing myself for a ...
