Puerto Princesa, Palawan

Another long weekend. This time, Bok, Zoe and I went with my parents to visit Puerto Princesa City, the capital city of Palawan.

Day 1:

Cebu Pacific flight to Palawan. There are still some areas in Terminal 3 that aren't really "done", but you can see the "potential". Somehow. =)

Upon arrival, we checked in at the hotel, had some lunch, and went on a city tour. Zoe slept through the early part of the city tour, but woke up just in time to see the butterflies and crocodiles! For dinner, we went to Kalui's, one of the "famous" restaurants there. Nice ambience. Shiny wooden floors where you can eat your seafood dinner. Even the restrooms had wooden floors! Imagine that.

Day 2:

My parents went on the Underground River tour, while Bok, Zoe and I took the Honda Bay island hopping tour. I haven't been to the Underground River either, but Zoe would enjoy the beach more in this case. Plus, Bok hasn't been to the Honda Bay islands either, so off to the island hopping tour we went.

Zoe enjoyed her day. We had a great lunch -- grilled stuffed squid, grilled chicken, rice, slightly spicy garlic eggplants, salted eggs, and alimasag (crab). I started the day cranky since I was so hungry and had to skip breakfast because we were running late...the snorkeling and the rest of the day was worth it.

After hearing mass at the Cathedral, we ate dinner at Kinabuch, which was more affordable than Kalui's. It was delicious, and we were so full! Plus we got to watch the closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics on their outdoor widescreen projector screen. =)

Day 3:

Late breakfast. Swimming at the hotel pool. We had lunch at the Lotus Garden, another ambience-y resto right beside Kalui's. Like Kalui's, they had wooden floors and you have to take your shoes off before going in. But, at the time we ate there, we were the only customers (lunch time), and the floor was dusty. Haha, picky picky. Maybe I was just cranky because: 1) my pants got a big hole when it snagged on a tricycle on the way there; and 2) Zoe had a poo-poo accident that overflowed. By the way, did you know Lotus Garden has a branch in Costa Rica? Haha. (inside joke)

I'll finish up the captions later. Sensya na kung maraming pics!
