Palawan Adventure Part III

Wanna take a peek of Dos Palmas?

Dos Palmas is a paradise in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. A great vacation destination. A place of relaxation away from stress and city life. An island with a peaceful and serene environment. What can I say, I was in awe when I landed there. The mystic place of this beautiful island that once became famous of it's foreign customer that was abducted by the Abu Sayyaf group. It was such a great place to be despite of that reputation. A must see paradise.

Wanna see TL's photo shoot?

Twas a blast!!! I think it's too obvious that I had fun on that resort island based from my so many pictures. Hehe. Let me tell you more about that day. Kumander and I woke up on the same time as we were told that we have to be on the travel agency at 7:00am, where we booked our tour thru the pension house we're staying at. We paid P1,800.00 for the tour (per person) which includes lunch meal, equipment usage, entrance fee and the boat ride.


The day was so sunny that it made the sea so calm. The sea travel was as smooth as I wanted it to be. So the 1 hour travel going to the island was just a breeze. Thank God!!! Before we were allowed to enter the resort, the General Manager briefed first the guests and gave us important information about everything we needed. They had welcome drinks and music on our arrival. Sweet!!!


When all of the guests boarded on the island, all of them started picking activities like kayaking, biking, snorkeling, etc., but Kumander and I decided to stroll around the island first and do what all of the guests are not doing. Picture moments is what we did first. We explored the island and see for ourselves why it was so famous. And indeed, the island itself proved to us what we were trying to see.


It was time to find our spot after the island tour. All of the guests seemed to find their own huts, and nothing was left for us. Good thing, we found some long beach chairs and there we started settling down. At that time, I was already in a relaxing mood as the paradise island was giving me a serene booze atmosphere. The sun, the sand, the nature, the summer breeze, the hammock, with my iPod and my shades, it was the perfect relaxing moment.


Kumander was into doing things already but I wasn't yet. My soul keeps on telling me to relax as it was what I wanted to have. But when Kumander came back with a Kayak, I was aroused to join the activity. Hehe. It was my first time to do it, and boy, I super enjoyed it to the point that I forgot that it's the streak of the sun. The hell I care! Go for the sun!!! By the way, watch a video I took while Kumander was paddling with her Kayak. Hehe.





Lunch was served from 12:00-2:00pm. We were the first guests to start the buffet as we were so hungry at that time already. And boy, the buffet set was so sumptuous I didn't know what to get first. It was food everywhere, and they all look so delicious. It was a treat for my hungry stomach. I ate as much as I wanted. Happy meal! Yumyum!!! However, my last name was mispelled on the table tag. Hmpf! Hehe.


After lunch, we moved in to a new hut, and this time, it's bigger and better. I decided to relax while Kumander decided to do snorkeling. I didn't join her as I am scared to do that. So we had our own agenda after lunch. I swam in the sea for more than an hour until Kumander returned. We continued our photo shoot for the last hurrah in Dos Palmas.


We left the island at 4:00pm. It was a day I will never forget. That finally, I experienced this paradise that no one can ever replace. My memories in this island will remain forever and I will cherish it as long as I live. I am glad that I have finally did it and it was all worth it. My Palawan adventure was the greatest!!!


Teka, bakit ba ako english nang english. Hassle!!! Anyways, pagdating sa city ulit, naligo lang uli ako at pumunta na kami sa house nila Roxee. Birthday kasi ni Morrie, her son, at doon na kami nag-dinner. Hindi na kami pumunta nang Kalui. Her mom cooked pasta, bought some fried chicken, prepared salad and baked cake for the celebration. Hay! Ang galing magluto nang mom ni Roxee. I didn't know that used to have a bakery as their business.


After kumain, we went to the Tiangge area para bumili si Kumander nang mga pasalubong pa niya. Ako, bumili na naman nang mga handicrafts na sobrang kina-adikan ko. For my room display once I'm done rennovating it. I bought some Kasoy as well kasi sobrang sarap nang Kasoy sa Palawan. And my last view of the city by night dahil uuwi na pabalik nang Manila kinabukasan.


We then went to Baywalk (Palawan version) for a night stroll in the city. It was our last night so we made the most out of it. Tambay, kuwentuhan lang, tawanan, at konting picture. Roxee's sister was fun to be with also. Aliw. Kalog din. But I was already tired at that time kaya nag-aya na akong umuwi. I asked them na sa room na lang tumambay at magkuwentuhan. Bumili muna kami nang merienda bago umuwi. I bought kwek-kwek, Yumyum!!!


After kainin ang kwek kwek, after nang konting kwentuhan, after nang reminiscing nang nangyari sa bakasyon, si TL, biglang nakatulog. Hehe. Di ko na alam ang nangyari pagkatapos, basta naggising na lang ako sa kinatulugan kong baluktot na posisyon. Ang sakit tuloy nang katawan ko. Naligo na ako agad at di pa ako nakakapag-empake. We left the Pension house nang 8:00am as our flight leaves at 10:15am.


Kaya lang, delayed ang flight namin. Nakaalis na kami, mga 10:35am na. At eto pa, nagkaroon nang air traffic sa NAIA, naglanding na kami around 12:15pm. Hassle! Killing me softly talaga. Hay! Sinundo uli ako nila parents na akala mo galing akong abroad talaga. Hehe. Sweet nila noh. Baby na baby si TL. So there, my super duper enjoyed Palawan adventure. Next time, sa Coron, palawan naman. Woohoo!!! For more adventures!!!
