Palawan Islands

The day I laded in Manila, after our magnificent Filipino lunch I slept instead of catching up with my sister. I did this because I knew we were getting up at 3:30 the next morning for our flight from Manila to Puerto Princessa at the Palawan Islands.

This was our island hopping adventure - catered lunch included. Our first stop was a splash house where lobster, horseshoe crab and grouper were cultivated and observed. There were marine biologists on the little man made island to make sure they were healthy and flourishing.

Our second stop was at Pandan Island where we hung out on the beach, fed the exotic fish and ate a catered lunch.

They welcomed us to handle these guys and the lobster up top. I was like, I'm good, thanks!
