January 16, 2010, our second day in Puerto Princesa. As we expected, the electricity shut down early. But we managed to fix ourselves before it happened. At around 7 AM, the van came, with two other guests inside, plus the driver and a lady tour guide. There were eight more passengers after us. And then we headed to Sabang, where the jump-off point going to the Underground River was. On our way to UR, I thought the weather will spoil our trip. It was constantly changing.
It took us almost two hours travelling to Sabang. We had some stop-overs along the way for photo opps and nice views.

 |
| Ewan ko ba naman kung bakit ganito itchura namen dito, busog na siguro, ehehe.. |
 |
| Fresh Buko Juice - Hindi naman mahangin sa labas eh ^_^ |
And it was superb! Sepo and I did enjoyed the foods, a lot! We kept coming back at the buffet table to get foods, (p.g. mode?) haha! There’s also fresh buko juice which made our lunch complete!
After our sumptuous lunch, our tour guide took us to Sabang port and there we rode a big boat. The waves were a bit strong but for me it was fun! I just love the waves splashing inside our boat! Haha! It was probably more or less than 30 mins. travel time to UR’s drop-off point.

 |
| we're almost there! ^__^ |
We took some photos before going inside and along our way to the cave. There’s a queue for tourists who will go inside UR, you have to write down your names first before going in. There were different sizes of paddle boats. Then we just waited for our turn and had photo session as well.
 |
| there's another couple on our batch, they were kind enough to take this shot in exchange of taking them picture as well..^_^ |
 |
| couple shots - thanks to other couple ^_^ we forgot to get their names, haha! |

 |
| Dami-dami tao.. :( |
 |
| That's not the boat we used, for picture purpose lang to, hihi.. ^_^ |
 |
| I changed my hard hat from blue to pink! Haha! Arte much! ^_^ |
Our boatman was so articulate to both English and Tagalog. He’s got a lot of sense of humor. And the moment we entered UR was breath-taking, because of his introductions. It was cold. The boatman just kept on talking and showing us those magnificent rock formations. We can hear also bats chirping. Funny thing, as we were getting farther from the cave's entrance, I was imagining that there might be an anaconda waiting for our boat to flip over (paranoia! Haha!). But overall the experience was one-of-kind.

| that's kuyang boatman at my back, he's the coolest! ^_^ kudos to you kuya |

The trip lasted less than an hour. All the passengers of the paddle boat including me and Sepo went out of the cave with a big smile on our faces. We were really satisfied with the trip plus the super-energetic and super comedian boatman made it so worth it.
