I Did It At Ugong Rock Adventures!

Yes, I did it! This might be a shallow vantage point for others but I'll brag about it anyway... and HEY!... I just tried Zip Lining for the first time!!! In point of fact, what made the whole activity more interesting for me is the addition of fun caving and spelunking experience before I got to try their zip line at the peak of the cave.  The trudge was also edifying as I have learned that stalagmites/stalactites should not be...

"On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it." --- Jules Renard El Nido or translated as “The Nest” is the nest of scattered paradise pieces here on earth. Hundreds of limestone karsts and isles in different shapes and sizes will never fail to captivate every mortal’s heart. Okay...

EL Nido Palawan: Transport Schedule and Road Experience To Paradise

“The way to paradise is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it is hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.” This holds true to my road experience going to El Nido from Puerto Princesa by Van for 5 to 6 hours.
