I'm a Tourist: Underground River

One of the seven Natural Wonders of the World, I finally got to see our very own Underground River. Day Two of our Palawan vacation started out early as we had to take a 2-hour drive to the port where they will ferry us to the entrance of the Underground river.

 

 

As the tour guide mentioned, the river runs about 8 kilometers long, but for tourists they can only go as far as 1.5 kms, I don't know how true it is that if you pay extra you can go as far as 4 kms, but that's about it because the river or cave eventually goes underwater and only divers and scientists are allowed beyond that point.

 

 

The "boatman / tour guide" was able to provide a brief and yet humorous history of the river and stories of how certain rock formations got its names.

 

 

 

And of course, after a tiring yet exhilarating underground experience, we had dinner at Rene's Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant. Beef Wanton, Fresh Shrimp spring rolls, and a tasteful glass of Vietnamese iced coffee.

 

 

Onwards to Day 3...
