Puerta Princesa, February 27

On Wednesday we started the day with a tour. We went to different places but the most exciting bit was going to the Subterranean River which is the longest navigable underground river in the world. There are loads of bats inside the cave. The mountain that it was underneath was called Mount St Paul because it was named after St Paul’s Cathedral by a British sailor.

There were shadows in the cave that looked like the Lion King, the Holy Family and horses. We had to wear a helmet in case we bashed our head on a rock. When we got to the middle of the river we saw a shape like the Skyway which is the motorway in the Philippines.

When we got back, we had lunch with Monitor Lizards. They are very very big lizards. We saw monkeys as well. One was chewing on the sign.

On the way home we had a break and saw some very cute kittens.

In the evening we went to the market. We saw lots of fish that sailors had caught that day or the night before. I slipped and put my foot in some yucky, yucky stuff!! After the market we went and had some dinner.
