puerto princesa trip with mom: a mother and son bonding v.02

there was a something like a waiting area for everyone. a place to stay while waiting for the boat ride. we waited for about an hour but the wait is sover worth it. seeing the majestic rock formation is grabe! ang ganda. i don't have a good camera so i can't capture every stalactites and stalagmites inside it. God is so great! he showed us His beauty and wonder through this underground river. there was never a dull moment. i was like a kid seeing a theme park for the first time. inside you have to practice your imagination. imagining what this rock looked like.

i took so many pictures but most of them are like abstract. lol! but inside, the skilled boatman is like narrating a story. he's a good story teller. only expert boatmen like our guide knew which is which. through dark alley like water trail, he knew where we should go and to point our spotlight. my eyes are so bad in darkness. the tour lasted for 40 to 45 minutes. while checking out some photos taken and deleting some them, i realized that it's useless. the story that the boatman is his own story and mine is a different one. a story yet to be told.

after sometime, i noticed that our camera is running out of battery. i quickly asked my mom about the camera charger. wah! she left the charger in cavite. we're quite agitated but that is a vacation. we should not worry about anything for everything. so, what if we left the charger? pictures were just there. but experience will remain in our hearts.

our way back to hotel is smooth. we slept inside the van. before we know it, we're already in front of our hotel. A and A Hotel is fantastic. it looks like a cozy hotel. we got room 213. the service is awesome and the crew is so friendly. we changed our clothes and we're on our way to robinson's mall to eat and look for USB connector (to replace the camera charger since i have mac with me). we ate at teriyaki boy. my mom wasn't able to finish her food so i took the rest. lol! photoline is our next destination. i kindly asked if they are selling a USB connector for an olympus camera. at first he replied NO. however, i informed him that this is the most common connector in town. i showed him the port and told me wait for a couple of minutes. he returned back with a connector and gave it to me. i asked how much and he said it's for FREE! yes, free as in libre. i was so happy! photoline in Robinson's Puerto Princesa rocks!
