I never liked the sea but when we sailed off from Sabang to the underground river, the beautiful color of the sea that blends well with the clouds, the sky, the wet and dry sand of the beach - a magnificent work of a Master artist... how can I not like the sea?

The St. Paul Subterranean River National Park is the best place to go in Puerto Princesa. I wish that:

1. the road leading to this famous park is improved to lessen the travel time. Someone said that rough road is part of the adventure (duh!). We wanted to enjoy the place more and talk about it after but we were all shook up during the trip.

2. the person holding the flashlight should be a trained person. One we had kept on moving the light. It was another dyzzying spell cast on us.

3. Yes, Monkeys should not be fed. The forest vegetation takes care of them. When they start becoming friendly, they become demanding and grabs anything you have. Monkeys normally go away when there are people.

I am going again end of January. I'll update.
