Puerto Princesa: City in the Forest (Day 2)

We woke up real early today . . . O_O We had a continental breakfast at Tio Rod's. Then we went in the van to have our island hopping at Honda Bay! :D But first we picked up some other people we were going to be with for the day. They were two couples (as in two pairs ha) and then the other group was from Sheridan, a place far away from Rizal Avenue where we were staying, so we just met with them at the wharf.

We rode a boat. :D Our first stop was Starfish Island. It took us about 20 minutes to get there. And when we finally did, it was kind of awkward. :)))) Anyway, we took a picture with the Hawaiian thingy and the tarps. And then I put on my bald cap haha just kidding that was a lame joke. I put on my swimming cap that my cousin lent me. It was protection for my hair. Darn hair. :))

We put on our snorkeling gear that we rented back at the wharf. That was my very first time to go snorkeling. :D It was sooo awesome to breath and see clearly underwater! Plus, we also rented those silicon coated camera cases so that we can take pictures underwater. Wooooooo! :D And then a boatman approached us, said that he could take us to the corals. That, my friends, was also my first time to see corals. XD It was soooo amazing.

And then we went fish feeding! We fed them with bread. They said we couldn't feed them anything else but bread because if we do they'll look for that food with the other tourists that will come feed them, so yeah. Haha.

Unfortunately, one of the people we came there with got bitten by a stone fish because he stepped on a coral. You see, when you step on a coral either a stone fish or a sea urchin will go out and bite you or something. Our tour guide told us that one guy even stayed in the hospital for 2 months because of that. Yeah, I got scared. But not that scared. ;)

Next island, Snake Island. No, there are no snakes there over Snake Island. It was named that because of its shape. Yes, it's shaped like a snake. :D Again we went snorkeling there and we were guided by the boatman. Mom went with us this time. The boatman took pictures of us and of the corals and fish. We went fish feeding again! Each time I put out bread they'll come near it. It was pretty awesome! :D

Look at that coral . . . Pretty amazing, huh? :)

The last island that we went to was called Pandan Island. Our tour guide told us that there were a lot of sea urchins there, so I got scared and didn't go to the water anymore. :)))))) I'd rather do that than stay in a hospital for months. No way. :)) But we did do something else. ;)

Yes, we rode a banana boat! For those who don't know how banana boat works, it's just a floating material (as you can see) being sort of dragged by a speedboat. The people there are really great; they told us they could take pictures of us on the banana boat while they were on the speedboat. Like this:

Pretty awesome, eh? XD Ahaha! Oh, and before that, someone who was working over at the island taught us some pretty cool "camera tricks." Like this one. :D

Our dinner was at 8:30, because that was the time that mom reserved at Kalui, the "best restaurant in Puerto Princesa" or so they say. They let you take your footwear off. :)) And then my cousin sort of fell in love with our waiter. He's white, and his name tag says his name is Tom. So yeah, she's in love with Tom. :))))) But that's not why this dinner is so exciting. It's cause we had dinner with Eliz's family here! :D So awesome. :))))

And yep, that's it. :D
