Upon arriving at Sabang, Puerto Princesa City, two hours from the city.

In the port in Sabang, waiting for the motor boat to carry us to the Underground River

Taking more pics in the port...

We saw two celebrities who would also tour the Underground River.

Cashew nuts, Palawan's pride, are so yummy!

I always have these in our entire stay in Palawan.

Numerous tourists, local and foreign, visited the Underground river.

After almost 30 minutes of waiting, our boat finally arrived.

After taking a boat ride for 15 minutes, we have to walk for 5 minutes to the vicinity of the underground river.

Taking photos before heading to the underground river.

On the way this you csn see..

and monkeys too! Never ever show your teeth or else monkeys will jump to you.

My daughter is smart enough never to show her teeth whenever a monkey is around!

Hiking the forest going to the river.

Behind us the the opening of the underground river.

with our very accommodating and pretty tour guide..

My kids are so fascinated by the small fishes!

When our paddle boat is almost to arrive, we started wearing these suits.

so excited to tour the underground!

Here we go....

The narrow entrance to the underground.

When there is high tide, it is more difficult to enter the cave, the opening becomes even narrower.

Inside the cave is so dark..

The LED flashlight is our only light to see the surroundings of the underground river.

There are many formations above, done by the droplets of water hardened for millions of years already.

They call this a giant mushroom.

more stalactites..

a giant corn...

looks like two people hanging upside down.

with PBB Tom..

On the way to our buffet lunch..

This buffet lunch in included in the tour we have paid.

trying the TAMILOK--a shell-like creature pulled from an old tree bark in the sea.

This has been a usual food when I was in my elementary days in Palawan..tastes just like a fresh shell.

My daughter tried too, she didn't like the taste..

Barefoot on the fine sand..they love it!

a quick drop at a souvenir shop where we bought our t-shirts..

a photo by their own photographer, so expensive though, Php250.00 for a single copy of 8by10 size huh!

Another memorable vacation we will always treasure...Thanks to my hubby for these wonderful gifts to his family!
