Trip To Palawan Cheap Adventure Tips! Part II

Hi there good day! I will now continue blogging my cheap adventure in Palawan. As I promise I need to continue my part 2 this time. Anyway Let's move to my 5th day experience there. Monday is one of the busiest day of all the workers, yes that's true! I'm not a worker in Palawan but one thing is I have the busiest schedule for that day. Are you wondering why? it's because this is the start of our "pasyal-pasyal" or "gala-gala" anywhere hehe. I love exploring or going anywhere that's why this is kinda awesome job for me.

If you will go Puerto Princesa don't miss a chance to visit these places. As what I told you in my last post bibihira ang bakery na masarap ang tinda sa lugar na yun, maliban lang talaga sa isang ito. This place is awesome! and infact walang Entrance fee.. inuulit ko po, NO ENTRANCE FEE kaya mas masarap pag libre haha. Ang rule lang dito, don't bring any food or beverages inside. Wala syang entrance but the counter part is you have to try their food inside. But this is optional, kung gusto mo kumain ok lang naman, at kung hindi ok lang din. But best thing is to make your visit sulit try to eat kasi masarap! Actually, If you will go some souvenir shops anywhere in Palawan isa sa madalas na makikita nyong food label is Baker's Hill, kasi halos lahat dun yun nang galing. Famous talaga sya dahil one of the best souvenir and food suppliers sya. You can buy many things inside like snacks, breads, pastries, hopia, pizza sweets, heavy meals at marami pang iba. Buy and bring home para matikman din ng family nyo as your cheap but delicious pasalubong.

Maiba tayo, lets now talk about the place itself. I don't really know who own this, but I admire kasi he or she is very kind for opening their place free for tourists, well in the first place pwede talaga sya magkaroon ng entrance kasi super ganda ng lugar but they chose to be nice in that way kaya "BOW" ako sa kanila. When you enter the place, you can see a lot of statues, human size Disney characters like Donald duck and friends. You can also see Shrek's house with his wife and children. (Expect that it's big). Love is in the air inside kasi you will see a lot of hearts. You can take a lot of selfies there, because everywhere is a great spot  for capturing photos. When we went there, some other parts are still on renovation. Inaayos nila, and I think that's for expansion. Puerto Princesa is famous in crocodiles and peacocks, inside Baker's Hill you can't find real crocodile (wood crockies meron hehe) but you can see a lot of peacocks there! Take selfies with them. 

after taking a lot of pictures, buy and eat we went out to say goodbye in that place. My best friend saw pearls selling outside Bakers Hill. Trivia to each of you, don't be surprise for the pearl prices in Palawan because that's totally CHEAP and that's all real. I bought 3 pearls earings for my mother, sister in law and cousin-twinie. I also bought necklace for myself. What's nice here, is that this is a surprise pearl. The seller will actually open it in front of you, nakalagay sa small can yung pearl, it's still in its original shell they will open it for you, you will make a wish(nakasulat sa kasi sa box nabasa ko lang haha hindi sinabi ni kuya kaya hindi ako nakapag wish!) then surprise kung anong kulay ang mapupunta sayo. Pearl colors has meanings check it nalang, just search it. (Actually meron din sa box nakasulat.) I got white one. Its actually still alive, sabi ni kuya lalaki pa daw yun kasi hindi pa nabubutasan or natutusukan. Inasemble ni kuya ung necklace, inopen ung pendant at dun nilagay sa loob ung pearl. Sabi nya hindi daw nangungupas ung necklace. I believed. Pagkauwi ko ng cavite may part na nagfade.. bad trip diba? haha pero ok lang papagawa nalang ako ng silver na katulad ng pendant nya someday. 

I just want to give you a tip, better not to buy there kung pupunta pa naman kayo ng crocodile farm. Why? because mas mura yung mga souvenirs items dun. Naasar ako kasi 300 benta nya sa necklace, 250 nalang daw, and we bought this like 200 kasi tumawad pa kami dalawa ksi kami ni bestfriend ang bumili.. but when I go to crocodile farm and check the prices, 100 lang.. sayang! at mas mura pa dun ung mga earings.. double yung price ni kuya. But anyway, ung prices nya is ganun talaga since negosyante sya at akala nya mayamang turista kami.. haha  just that, mas mura talaga ng double sa crocodile farm. Dun kayo mamili ok?! but if you don't have any chance or time to go that farm, worth it nadin naman kay kuya since medyu malayo din yun hindi kana mamamasahe.
After Baker's Hill, we went crocodile farm right away! It's probably 30 mins or less away from our first stop just that we arrived early. I don't know the morning schedule but afternoon will start at 1 pm. Since napaaga naman kami, nakita ko yung isang helerang souvenir shops kaya nag ikot ikot muna kami. Infairness naman sa mga stores dito mura ung mga souvenirs nila, I really advice you guys to buy here. I saw some palawan T-shirts worth 90 php only, wallets for only 20-25 depende sa size yung iba 50-60-100. They have a lot of pearls din super mura and mga chains. I bet pag dito kayo mamili, mapapasalubungan nyu halos lahat ng gusto nyong pasalubungan. One good thing in palawan is you can buy their stuffs in a nice price. Enjoy shopping!!
Maiba tayo, while picking some souvenirs some one has an announcement. Ready na daw to open para sa tourist yung farm so anyone can buy tickets na. My hubby hurriedly buy our tickets 40 pesos lang sya each..I though mahal.. but super cheap naman. When you go there, iniipon muna nila yung tao since kailngan sabay sabay ang pasok ng tourists kasi merong guide na nag eexplain ng bawat sulok. After buying tickets first thing to do is, of course to selfie.. haha.. pero maliban jan we need to register first. After registration, you have to listen to the tour guide explaining those crocodile species.  You can see  the big fossils of crocodile when you enter that building. May matututunan ka naman sa nag sasalita and they will teach you what to do and what are not to do inside.  And this is actually the real photo of crocodile, this is real, also the balat is real. You can take selfies and post what ever you want.  After explaining we went to another building where you can see real crocodiles. We went to hatchling house where you can see those smaller crocodiles. The girl explain, explain and explained.

HANDS OFF, bawal hawakan syempre baka mangagat. No flash din para sa mga cam baka madisturb at mag wild kasi sila, after that we continue walking and go to the bigger crocodiles. Aakyat kayo ng hagdan, so nasa taas kayo, nasa baba sila, mga nakanganga and if malaglag ka good luck naman sa beauty mo. haha The crocodiles here are so big, and take note they are not vegetarians, so ingat nalang. In this farm they have best seller, they are selling crocodile sisig, so para sa mahihilig sa exotic foods you can personally try it.
Well, nice thing here is you can also have a chance to touch them and have selfie together. Meron silang photobooth where in you can have photo off with the mini crocodile. Don't worry they have tape on their mouth so they will not bite you, infact you can bite them. haha. After that picture taking, you can see your photos on the screen, which is edited with a jungle background. You can choose and they will print it out. You will pay something like 200+ i think for 5r. Hindi ko na kinuha since we bought camera naman. Ang mahal ehh.. hehe
After jan sa mga crockodiles, bahala na kayo sa buhay nyo, wala na kayong tour guide. You will allowed to go that nature and discover what's inside by yourself. Maganda yung place, forest na forest, maingay sa mga huni ng ibon, madami ka pang ibang makikitang animals like, different kinds of birds, bear cats, baboy ramo and so on. You will just walk and walk and walk inside. May mga paths naman, you will not get lost kasi meron din namang mga signage to follow and infact kahit medyu malawak sya paikot lang naman sya kaya isa lang ang lalabasan nyo.

I like this experience kasi super dami ako natutunan, I conquer my fear of holding crocodile for at least a minute just for my brave selfie adventure. Hindi ko nalang sya inilagay dito kasi umaapaw na ung pag mumuka ko dito, but I really have a photo with it alone. Another thing is that para kaming nag matanglawin episode ni hubby, feeling ko sya si kuya kim at ako naman si ate kimmy.. haha worst idea. Anyway don't miss a chance to visit this places, mura na nag enjoy ka pa ng bongga, I think you will not spend 500 kasama na ang transpo and foods, wag ka lang mag shoshopping ng bongga. So thats it. This is only for today, I still have more, I will just cut it, so that readers will not get bored.

watch out for my Honda Bay Adventures in our 6th Day  Palawan tour.

Hope you got some tips! keep reading guys. :D
