We capped our Palawan Experience off with a half day city tour.
Since our hotel stay is good for 3nights/3days, we set our tour on afternoon schedule for us to have ample time to fix our things before flying back to Manila (right after the tour).
The tour started off at Plaza Cuartel (where Japanese invaders burnt around 150 American soldiers during World War 2 in 1944), though the actual place was already renovated, the arc/passageway of Cuartel stood the test of time.
Few steps from Plaza Cuartel is Immaculate Conception Cathedral:
We made stops to 2 different souvenir shops and our group being ever ready, already did our own shopping the night before. So no rush for us right there. ;)
Probably the highlight of our city tour was the short "field trip" at Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (widely known as the Crocodile Farm). There are lots of FYIs about crocs and so are crocs themselves of different forms, sizes and ages. We also chanced on having photos with a baby croc for P30.
We also made a stop at Mitra's Ranch for a quick over-looking experience. The Mitra family owns a real wide span of property and the scenery is just beautiful. There are parts where you can see the China Sea, another part will let you see the city as whole and on another side you'll see a herd of cow peacefully eating grasses by. They also offer different recreational activities like horseback riding, zipline, trampoline but prices are quiet expensive.
Our last top was Baker's Hill - famous for their bakeshop and hopias. We hoarded up stocks for pasalubong, made a quick round and stopped to have some snack. The place is full of colorful statues and life-sized cartoon character figures kids will surely enjoy.
When we were taken back to hotel, we rushed to Jollibee and grabbed our quick dinner. When we were back, our service was already set since our flight back to Manila is 8PM. We hurried up and bid Palawan our final goodbyes. 'Til then, Palawan! :) We'll meet again for El Nido and Coron, that's a promise!
