I have returned!! I just came back from our trip in Palawan and it was really great!! I left Sunday morning since our flight was at 11:15 and from then on my adventure began. When we arrived a shuttle was waiting for us . They were the ones arranged by my mom's friend so we could go to there house in Quezon, Palawan. The thing that I didn't know was the trip would take about 2 hours and we were going to share the vehicle with other people. Plus the road going to Quezon was anything but smooth, it was a freaking rough road!! Imagine travelling on a road which is mage up by dirt anfd stones..sighs..When we reached there my mom's friend welcomed us and we had the treat of a lifetime. There were tons of food that were only for my family!! God my diet went down the drain. Then they lead us to the place where we were going to stay. I couldn't believe it!! We were staying at a cabin near the sea but there was a catch!! We didnt have TV, aircon and the cabins were really small!! Plus there was a race scheduled that day and I wasn't able to watch it!!! Oh the agony!!! But my baby won anyway so I was really happy though I learned of it through a call
On Monday we went to the Market in Quezon and there I had the shock of my life!! The food there was so cheap!! Imagine, Galungong was 10 bucks per kilo!!! per kilo mind you!! And the dried fishes range from 60-90 pesos per kilo. I really lost my head, my mom aswell!! So she bough tons and tons of dried fishes, her pasalubong to her friends.
Tuesday we went to the famous Tabon cave, the cave were the first inhabitants of the Philippines lived. It was so cool coz we had to ride a boat to go there, plus we had to wade through strong waves that were infront of the mountains entrance. Then we had to climd steep stairs to see these caves. They were really great!! Though a bit tiring, it was worth it since we saw this cave that had vegetation in it and it was in the heart of the mountain, so we had to treck in order to go there!! I really had fun but my parents had a hard time..lol.. then we went to two different islands which means different beaches..hehehe
Wednesday we went to the underground river, but shit the road going there was so bad that my butt hurt!! and we had toi travel for 2 and a half hours so imagine the pain!!! But it was worth it because the place was so beautiful!! You wouldn't believe it and that's why I encourage people to go there because its once in a life time experience!!! Also we went back to Puerto Princesa since we will leave Palawan the next day. There we were treated by my uncles cousin to a place were the food is so good I had so much!! It was the first time I ate sisig made up of sea foods!!! hehehe
Thursday, that's now. We left Palawan 1:00 in the afternoon and arrived here at 2:10. I cant believe it, I'm back and I have to face reality for in a few days I'll go back to school. But it was worth it, although my vacation was short it was worth everything
