Palawan : DIY Itinerary Day 2

Our second day is the start of the Complete Family Get Away! 

The couples have arrived early morning. We then took the van to take us to Island Hopping which cost us php1300 / round trip  but first we made a stopover at the PPUR office to purchase a permit for our Underground Tour which to be held on our 3rd day. it costs us php175/head for adults. We also passed by a small store to have a rental gear for snorkeling. 

Our Honda Bay tour started by registering at their counter office. Since I am doing this on my own I need to know the entrance fee per island as well.

Expenses:
PHP 2250 - boat hire - this would depend on the # of passengers and islands to visit 
PHP 27 - Terminal fee (php3 / head)
PHP 12 - Entrance fee
PHP 360 - Environmental fee (php40 / head)
PHP 1800 - Lunch (php150-200 / head)
-------------------
PHP 4449 - Total for 9 Persons instead of PHP12060 (9 persons) 
The usual rate for Island Hopping amounts to PHP1340 / head. 

PHP 7611 - Saved amount :)



Upon arriving at Panay Island our first stop, we ordered for some lunch to eat since we were soo0ooo hungry. Of course took a lot of pictures, and roam around the island. Next stop, we visited Starfish Island. Although we only saw few starfish and the great thing is that we enjoyed snorkeling. We were in the sea and just chatting with one another when we noticed we were too far from the shore. So we hurriedly swim back there's this really funny moment with Ate Nemia and every time we reminisce we can't stop laughing at her. So to her frantic attempts to swim back, she lost the goggles and yes as a result we paid php1500 in replacement of the goggles. :( After Starfish island we passed by Luli Island which is known to be "Lulubog - Lilitaw". 
Before going back to the hotel after our Honda Bay Island hopping tour, we passed by Robinson's Place. My sister Sheryl needs to buy a pair of contact lenses, I think she lost the other half while she was enjoying her time in the sea.
We headed back to the hotel for a quick rest and enjoyed some pancit that we had for Snack at the rooftop of the hotel. :) For dinner we went to Balay Chicken Inato. They offered great food and the best part of that night is we laugh and laugh and laugh at our silly acts. We even reminisce our childhood days and we just kept laughing all night. It was the best night for me on our tour. No worries, no hassles just a family enjoying time with another. 

Since we had a big room in the hotel for 3 queen size bed and a single bed good for 7 people, we decided to be altogether. The husbands of my sisters took the other room. So it seems that we were all single that night, just spending  the night in a room with our parents, taking pictures and peacefully having our sleep.
