Palawan Vacation, Part V, Flora

I did a post of wildlife, so now flowers and plants. This is such a beautiful place, I hope these pictures capture a little bit of that beauty.

This was taken from the patio in the back of our hotel room.

As we exited the underground river.

I can't tell you anything about these flowers, except that they're beautiful.

Palawan Vacation, Part IV-The Entrance to the Cavern

I just thought I'd post a few more pictures that I took while we were waiting for our turn to go into the underground river. It was really a beautiful spot.

Also, a few more pictures of the island near the entrance to the cave. After seeing mostly beautiful beaches here in the Philippines, these rocky and rough shores were quite different, reminders that the Philippines are part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire" and that these are volcanic islands. The boat in the picture is identical to ours--we could only tell ours by number. There is no dock at the park site, you have to splash ashore through a few feet of surf, which just made the whole thing feel cooler!

Mexica's little sister, Russia, enjoyed herself playing on the bank of the river while we waited. She and her dad played with the fish in river. Once she'd been there a little while, she had a playmate.

Not much to narrate here. I just went back over the pictures and decided some of them were worth sharing. In case you're wondering why there are few pictures from after we left the cavern; well, I was getting a low battery indicator on my camera and I didn't have a spare battery. By the time I took the pictures of the lizards, the battery was dead and I had to wait and recharge it when we got back to the hotel.
