Tired of the busy life in the city? Stress at work? Need a break?
I am.
Early this year, I promised myself that there'll be no grand vacation for us this year. No to Piso Fare, Zero Base Fare, whatever you may call it. I need to save for my child's education, for my business, etc, etc. If you know me personally, alam mo, I'm the first to know sa SALE ng mga airlines. I am the "suki" of Cebu Pacific. Hehe. I am very fond of booking, planning and implementing TIPID but SULIT trips.
To make my story short, I broke my promise to myself. I got tempted. I bought round trip tickets (MNL-PPS-MNL) from TIGER AIRWAYS for only 678.08 pesos, you read it right, and that's for two. That also includes Manila Domestic Airport Terminal Fee of 200/each. That's a deal one can not resist.
Booking Tips: Get a deal without fuel surcharge. It's kinda hard to find but there's always once in awhile.

After 5 months of searching, reading and planning where to eat, shop, go, sleep. At last, Hello Palawan!
Upon arrival, we walked towards Rizal Ave., ang mahal kasi ng tricycle sa loob ng airport. We passed by KaLui, we didn't eat there. I am just allowed to choose one between KaLui and Badjao Seafront Restaurant, I chose the latter. So we bargain with the first tricycle driver na mukhang matino, 80 pesos drop off and pick up from BSR to Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral.
The Badjao Seafront Restaurant

| Lunch time |

| The very relaxing view from our table. Not after we saw lots of black banded sea snakes. :( |
 |
| Halaan Soup. 25 pesos |
 |
| Tinapa Rice. 195 pesos |
 |
| Butter Garlic Shrimps 190 pesos and Binagoongan Baboy 220 pesos *there is a 10% service charge |
After our lunch, we went to the Puerto Princesa Cathedral. We then asked our tricycle driver, if he would drop us at San Jose Terminal, how much should we add for the fare? 200 na lang daw lahat lahat na. Yehey! :) We prayed sa church, then libot ng konti infront of Plaza Cuartel, bought some water and we went na to the bus terminal.
Next thing, we were bound to El Nido. There is no RORO Bus that time, na suspend daw. So we rode Cherry Bus instead. 8 hours of Bumpy Ride. We left Puerto Princesa at 3 pm, we arrived in El Nido at 11 pm. Gee, that really hurts my butt. There's 2 stop over. On the first stop, we ordered rice lang for dinner (may ulam pa kami from BSR) and some snacks. On the second stop, we were sleeping na.
part 2 of this Palawan escapade will be published within this week...
sorry bitin...
