It's their Exotic Food and our first time to try out eating their famous Crocodile Sisig in Puerto Princesa Boulevard.... I must say its good! They say that the crocodile meat is originated from Davao.

After having our Dinner which is the Crocodile Sisig we then headed in our Hotel to take a rest for tomorrow activities which included in our El Nido and Puerto Princesa Tour Package.

The following morning at exactly 6:00 am a Van picked up at us to go for our Puerto Princesa Day Tour. Our Itinerary in Puerto Princesa is Underground River and Ugong Rock Adventures.

the Entry point of Underground River

UGONG ROCK ADVENTURES

This hillside is a tourist attraction offers a zip line rides and underground cave exploration tours

Ended the Day so tired so we have a quick shower and have dinner after arriving from Ugong Rock and sleep early because the next day is our last day and we decided to take the opportunity to tour the City on our own account and because it was not included in the package we got from the travel agency.

The following morning we had our early breakfast at the hotel which also by the way included in our package. The Tour to Underground River has a free buffet lunch too, we were so hungry so we forgot to take pictures....

Our newly found friends from El Nido tour was also with us in Puerto Princesa tour. So we asked them if they wanted to joined us in our City Tour the next day. We all agreed to hired (kontrata) a tricycle driver and meet them at the hotel lobby at 6:00 am. The half day City tour package is amounting of P600.00 all in, since our driver is a local he already knows where to bring us but we also make some suggestion of the places we wanted to go. We cross out one place that might not be too interesting for us to go since our time is limited we decided to maximize our time with the most better place to stay on. Four of us shared the P600.00 divided 4 is equal to P150.00 only per head.

OUR FIRST ITINERARY : CROCODILE FARM AND NATURE PARK

SOUVENIR SHOP

And your Palawan wouldn't complete if you haven't visit this place. The Most Famous Restaurant in Puerto Princesa among the Tourist is KaLui Restaurant

Let your Hotel Receptionist call to make reservation in this restaurant you can't dine in without making a reservation....and once you enter the restaurant you will leave your shoes or foot wear in a small locker that they will provide. Don't worry the place is spotlessly clean you don't mind walking barefoot on a wooden floor. And their Toilet is like a receiving room all the decors and lighting is pleasant to the eye.
