Postcards from Palawan


No posts from me for almost a week now. Writer's block.

Echos lang! Haha. :p

Since I'm not in the mood to write (or maybe  it could be the lack of inspiration. Naks.) despite the backlogs I have for this blog, let me share with you this entry from my college classmate slash travel buddy slash good friend, Romel. (Click for the link at the end of this post).

It has already been an annual event for us, with our other classmates and friends Venus, Godo, MJ and Ex to spend a week or less for a local getaway. This blogpost is about our Palawan trip in August 2011. There's so much to do there so aside from the usual city tour, we also ate crocodile meat and tamilok; scuba dived; biked in their boulevard; snorkeled at Honda Bay; watched fireflies; and of course, personally saw one of the world's new 7 wonders - the Puerto Prinsesa Underground River.

We first traveled together back in August 2010 in Bicol, with another friend and classmate Hyannie. Too bad she wasn't able to join us last year. We did wakeboarding at CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC); island-hopped and rock-climbed in Caramoan; and ziplined in Legaspi, Albay with Mt. Mayon as backdrop.

I know it's not really planned but I noticed there is always a beach in our chosen destination. 

Summer in August, anyone? :D

This year (guess which month?), we are set to invade Hundred Islands in Pangasinan, side-trip to Baguio, go hiking and spelunking in Sagada, and another side-trip to Bataan.

I cannot contain my excitement. This will surely be another great, and fun-filled trip with equally great and fun to be with friends! :)

    1. hi michy, i'm so sorry for this late response. buti na lang sa january pa trip niyo. :D

      it actually really depends kung ilang days kayo and what do you plan on doing. for myself i think i spent around 8k but it was because I scuba dived and shopped for pearls. lol. we also stayed at microtel and dined on the more sikat (thus, more expensive) restos. I'm sure you can spend way cheaper than that.

      i miss palawan. enjoy!
