MY PALAWAN EXPERIENCE

Last September 21, 2011 I, my friends and some of my classmates joined the tour in Palawan. It lasted for 4 days. It was my first time to ride a plane, and I was really excited. Our departure flight time was 7:00 in the morning, we arrived in Palawan at around 9 a.m. , we attend first the seminar that the DOT prepared for us. Then we headed to the restaurant where we ate our lunch, the food there was good. After we have our lunch, the tour began. Our first stop was the Crocodile farm; we saw lot of big crocodiles and the skin of the dead crocodile that used to be the biggest here in the Philippines. We bought some T-shirts outside the Crocodile farm. Then we went to Iwahig Penal Colony, the Muntinlupa of Palawan. We also bought some souvenirs there, which the in-mates made. After that, we went to Baywalk, Immaculate Concepcion Church, Mitra Ranch and Barakalan. We ended our 1 st day by eating our dinner in Lotus Garden, I ate lot of foods there because they have some Japanese foods which I truly love to eat and I was exhausted so I decided to have big and full meal. We started our 2nd day of the tour eating our breakfast in the hotel, it was eatall-you can so, and I ate lot of foods again so I can be full energy for the rest of the day. I really love the hotels pancake and dangit. After we ate breakfast, the tour resumes. We went to Underground River, it was really amazing. The cave mesmerized me with its natural beauty though I didnt enjoy the smell because of the bats poops. We took pictures, lot of pictures there while we were waiting for our co-boat passengers. We headed back to the main island afterwards to eat lunch in Taraw Restaurant, I really enjoyed their grilled liempo it was my favorite so I ate a lot again. Then we went to Ugong Rock which was my favorite place with all the places that we went to, because of the amazing experience. We tried the caving, spelunking and the zip line there; it was really amazing and unforgettable. I love extreme sports so I really enjoy that experience. Our 2 nd day ended eating our dinner in Balinsasayaw, where we ate the expensive Balinsasayaw dish. It tasted good, but I dont understand why does it is so cozy. Anyways, after we ate our dinner there, we went back to the hotel to rest and sleep. In our 3 rd day, same breakfast scenario, heavy breakfast for me and to my friends. We went to Honday Bay and Snake Island; we have another amazing experience there. We did snorkeling it was really fun. I swam with the fishes it really feels good. But I didnt enjoy that day that much because of my monthly girly thing. But overall it was fun and another unforgettable experience. After that we went to Tiangge to buy some pasalubongs for our families. Then we headed back to our Hotel. We rest first and changed clothes and went to Bilao at Palayok to have our dinner. Then our last day

in Palawan came, when I woke up that morning I felt sadness. I dont want to leave Palawan yet, but we have to go back to Manila and go back to our real and busy lives. Palawan, for me is really a paradise. When I have enough money I will go back there with my family and explore more Palawan and be more in love with its natural beauty.
