My Palawan

**My AU_some PALAWAN**

Two years have passed since I went to Muscat Oman to work as an OFW and within that two years, this was the first time I was finally Home. Yes, Im back to my beloved country, The Philippines!
My emotions coming back home was so strong that they are hard to describe. Anyways, I miss my hometown a lot and nothing really beats the tagline "its more fun in The Philippines". It gives me a sense of comfort and belonging.

My vacation to the Philippines means a Family Vacation. So when I started planning our family vacation, my wallet started to cry.....choz.....hahahaha...!

Since I am a person with a deep concern for our environment I decided to bring my family to Palawan. Palawan is one of my favorite destination since it emerged as one of the top
island destination in the world.

 To make sure things will worked out during our family vacation I booked a travel agent to help us see everything and experience the most toured place Palawan could offer. This helps me map out exactly how much a trip will cost, and that means no surprises. 

The tour packages in Palawan is classified with different types of tours. There is Puerto Prinsesa tour, El Nido tour and Coron Tour. And in this tour there are wide range of activities and places to visit. Gusto kung puntahan ang lahat kaso nakakapagod din hehehe...Lastly, I decided that our tour consist of Puerto Prinsesa tour with El Nido tour...Hooraah!!

Kayaking at Small Lagoon

I've learned my paddling skills from Oman Dragon Boat Club...pwede!!

Snorkeling at Big Lagoon

We started off to EL Nido. Our tour guide met us at the airport and escorted us to the van on the way to our Hotel in El Nido town. The drive going there was 6 hours long plus the 30 minutes food stops that have clean CRs. My mother needs a bladder break at kelangan mag bugbugan ng konti ung mga Pamangkin ko sa labas...LOL!!

Truly, no words can describe El Nido!...the place really blew me away! Thanks to God, there's a place like this.

Lunch at Shimizu Island

 Exploring the secret Lagoon

Pa BeBe and Swimming at the Final stop....7 Commandos Beach

 Next day, we went to Puerto Prinsesa Palawan for our Underground River Tour. We went there on time and as planned, no hassles of getting the permit and stuff daw, kasi nga we have our tour agency to do that..chuserang peg! They only allow certain number of visitors per day to preserve the area.

I have 3 Nephew's ( two 4 and 6 years old). Going to palawan is quite a journey with children, those plane rides, boat rides and island hopping. But, it went out well. My nephews enjoyed it a lot. I asked them to eat those little gummy bears 30 minutes before each trip hahaha...we also bought puke bag, lots of food and water and an Ipad.

Side trip to Underground River Tour

We cant get enough of puerto prinsesa, so we went for a City Tour on our 4th day! There are lots of popular tourist attractions.
But what we have included in our trip was the Crocodile Farm, Bakers Hill, Butterfly Garden and Souvenir Shops.

Nothing is as exciting as coming face to face with a wild animal but its even more exciting when you can actually hold them...eeehhh, naku try this ang saya! hehehe..150 pesos for the printed souvenir picture. 

Bakers Hills 

 There is nothing better than the smell of of fresh baked pastries coming out of the oven. I love it here, the pastries are so delicious but way to expensive. Just buy some.

 Butterfly Eco Garden

Souvenir Shop

This is what our family loves most, shopping! What we have bought, pearls, souvenir shirts of palawan, keychains, ref magnet, dried pusit, wallets, banana chips, at kung ano ano pa...

The End....My verdict. I'll definitely be back to Palawan. 

Love yah ol peeps!!
