Palawan Explorers: Day 2 - Underground River

Coming from working the night before, needed to wake up early for our Underground River Tour . At 7:30, our van arrived our tour was set. Our tour guide introduced himself but can't remember his name! As our tour guide, he talks a lot. Talking about the history of Palawan, the natives of Palawan which there are four (i can't remember either); the discoverers of Palawan and every Barangay we passed. He's talking in English just because we have a foreigner companion in the van {another success story}.

My first! Puerto Galera Escapade: An unplanned getaway with the best travel buddies!

It actually started with the meeting of the bitches minds to get even with the most disliked person in the world. And of course to enjoy the summer. More fun, fun, fun! It's actually More Fun in the Philippines! There were actually different choices initially: 1. Baguio City - to enjoy cooler environment and get-away from the super noisy Metro Manila 2. Pangasinan - Hundred Island - Been there but not them. 3. Puerto Galera - Never been there, to chill by the beach. 4. Batangas - bitches by the beach 5. Enchanted Kingdom - enjoy life and be like child again But of course, as a certified bitch, we've decided a day or two before the getaway to just go to a beach! Puerto Galera it is! And coincidentally, Ms Ate Bhing asked when are we going to the beach, then we just invited her to come with us. And there you go, the four of us...........off to PG after friday's shift! Bus Ride to Batangas pier......slept the whole time we traveled to the pier! zzzzzzz....... zz
