Wednesday 19th December - Puerto Princesa

Up at 6.30am as we were getting picked up at 7.30 for Underground River Tour. Quick breakfast and then 2hr journey along with another 9 people. The queues are usually quite long at this place so when we arrived, the tour guide booked our slot and we went on a paddle boat - The sabang Mangrove Conservation Tour It's an educational tour by boat through Sabang’s mangrove forests. It was really tranquil. We saw monkeys jumping about the trees in natural habitat, a snake wrapped round a tree branch. Thankfully we didn't see the bear that apparently lives there. There is a tribe who live deeper into the Forest. Was really good. Once we finished had lunch and then did the Underground River. Was a 45 min ride in a boat through a cave which is 8.4km long. Due to restrictions though, you are only allowed so many kilometres in, but it was also really interesting. I kept thinking of these thai boys that were trapped in the cave this year in Thailand and thought how scary it must have been!! We got back to hotel about 4.30pm and headed out for a walk and food. Had a nice Mexican meal and I had 2 cocktails. I was very tipsy - couldn't believe how they hit me. I'm such a light weight. Got back to hotel around 10pm and fell asleep straight away. Tick off another great day... NO photos attached. These will follow as I'm on 4g as no WiFi just now so I can't upload any pics.
