We spent 2 years traveling back and forth Palawan. I call it the Philippines 'last frontier', because in the 80's it was very much wild and untouched. It's truly beautiful as you have projected it here. My daughter also did a lot of diving there. Congrats on this picturesque hub!
Amazing pictures. Great hub. Thank you.x
go philippines..!!! go puerto princessa!!!
Fehl, this place sounds amazing. I read about this, and I would love to visit this some day. What an amazing trip by boat. Not too keen on bats, however! LOL! Puerto Princesa and the amazing river sound wonderful! Got to rate it up. Getting moi brekky now! Cold as hell here! Heh! Have a great day.
Sent you an email of a picture, you'll recognise it! XO
so excited to go here. we will be visiting this place this november. can't hold my excitement anymore. you know what? i have a little fear of going into caves (note in my profile, i am not an adventurous person). when you mentioned that it has the longest underground river, should i be a little afraid? seeing the caverns, i am already trembling (i have a lot of other fears if you must know).
Oh wow it's November :) I'd definitely go here someday :) I love Palawan and its beautiful beaches. Face your fears :) The only thing that scares me here are the crocs LOL
yeah! esp Lolong, the biggest catch. even if different camps argue about it being in captive or in wild, knowing that i will be lurking somewhere in your path with its mouth wide open, scary. i am scared of bats too. my brother is teasing me that this underground river will be full of bats. (even with that thought, i am getting goosebumps!!) we'll see!!!
maybe crocs are somewhere else..little bats are not so scary, but thousands of them would be so annoying lol Bring your wand and you'll be ok :) LOL I'm so funny. Tell us bout your adventure Cuz :) Ingat.
