Palawan Adventures: Day 4

Today we went to the Underground River, which was a bumpy two-hour ride from the city. On the way there, we stopped by this place where we saw a breathtaking view of Honda Bay! When we got to the Sabang area, we had to take a boat to get to the Underground River. As I looked up at the beautiful limestone cliffs, the pristine forests, and the clear blue waters we passed on the way there, I thought, "Whoever said this country's going to the dogs is dead wrong!"

These rock formations are amazing!

Underground River, here we come!

The Underground River was situated inside a dark cave, filled with mysterious rock formations. Along with the bats that slept soundly inside the cave, we saw fruits and vegetables, animals, the three kings, the Holy Family, and even the face of Jesus!

I love this picture!

Thousands of bats reside in this dark cave!

We had lunch in the forest area surrounded by monkeys and giant lizards!

On the way back to the city, we passed by the Vietnamese Village, had merienda at Viet Ville restaurant (the food was good though nothing beats authentic Vietnamese cuisine that the fellows and I ate when we were in Vietnam!), and bought yummy jackfruit chips!

We had a nice dinner at Badjao Seafront Resturant to cap off our stay in Palawan. It was with great reluctance that we all trudged back to "the real world" but we are nevertheless contented with our chance to bond as a family and experience a unique and one of a kind holiday.
It's a place I'm definitely going back to someday!
