puerto princesa trip with mom: a mother and son bonding v.03

we're so tired last night. i wasn't able to finish amazing race ph. camera was able to charge so no problemo. our free breakfast is now served as early as 6 am. i sent an sms to our tour contact about the itinerary for today. unfortunately, they will pick us up at 1.30 pm. my mom and i decided to buy all that we need - pasalubong, souvenirs and stuff. 

the trike drivers are so friendly. when i asked him if he could bring us to palengke to buy pasalubong, he brought us there! puerto princesa has two market places - the old and new one. the trike driver brought us to the center of the pasalubong market! its one stop shop! goods are so cheap and you can even ask for tawad. sover fun! i texted our tour contact once again if will have a time later that afternoon for a zip line ride. she informed me that the trip is of limited time so no chance for zip line. she gave us suggestions. when we went out, the trike driver said that its better if we go to mitra ranch for zip line, instead of the eco park. and the rest is what i call as history. lol!

our trike driver is like a tour guide. ahehehe. he told us so many different story about the owner of the pasalubong haven, story about puerto princesa, and lot of other things! going to mitra ranch is a long trike ride. ups and downs. we saw baker's hill on our way there. 

a zip line ride is 500 PhP. so expensive! pero minsan lang ito, so i quickly paid. i am the first customer for the day! =) . its going to be my first time so i am a little excited and little nervous. one thing is for sure, this is going to be one awesome and jaw breaking experience. lol! there are four stations. you need to climb up a steep stairway going to third and fourth station. the experience is so exhilarating! i love it! money is so worth it!

instead of going back to the hotel, we've decided take our lunch in robinson's. yes, @ robinson's. our taste buds are limited to a few recognizable dishes. lol!
