For the first time we have time off all together! We decided to go to Palawan Island.
After flying into Puerto Princessa we decided we would stay there for a few days and tour the city. This turned out to be a mistake...we were tricked into a tour that did not include going to see the Crocodile Rescue Center no matter how many times our guide told us "yes, that is where we are going." Instead we ended up at a strange religious cave dwelling

After checking out the caves with religious statues, we made our way the the butterfly gardens, which was much more rewarding.

| I made a new friend! |

Our last stop on our tour was to an outdoor market (delicious vegetable friend lumpia) where we bought some chocolate and Leslie was attacked by a large snake
 |
| Watch out! |
With bad weather and no crocodiles we decided to ditch Puerto Princessa and make our way up to Sebang, home to the Underground River.
 |
| Upon arrival we made a new friend! |

| He is not a bear nor a cat, but a bearcat |
The weather was not much improved in Sebang, so after some body surfing we went on a (deceptively long) walk to the waterfalls

It continued to rain while we were in Sebang, canceling all tours to the Underground River, so the first chance we got, we caught a bus to the north of Palawan to check out the dive/snorkel town El Nido.
