Palawan, Day Two

That three-part post about our Island Hopping adventure was only from our first day in Palawan. On day two, we were supposed to go to the famous Underground River. But Hubby, Me and Boninay decided to pass. There was a lot of rock climbing involved, I was told and I don't think we were fit to do it with a child in tow. And hubby's not much a fan of caves, lol! Maybe when Boninay's a little older.  But, that's just us. The other kids, Fiona, 7, Larden and Ady, both age 1 went with their parents. L, apparently got scared when they were in the river since it was really dark in the cave. He cried and cried the whole time. Poor boy!:(

Anyways, since we didn't go, we spent the time for our little family bonding! Time to get some lunch!
The service car's driver of Ysabelle Mansion was kind enough to give us a ride.

We saw this on our way:

Look out!

This is where we decided to eat.

Really Huge Bilao and Palayok!

  Lunch time was almost over when we arrived. They're supposed to close in an hour to prepare for dinner.  But, they still accomodated us.

Empty except for us.

 Boninay, a picky eater, especially when she's out, only wants to drink Mango Shake. And Sago't Gulaman.

 All hers. Hehehe!

We ordered this Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard dip hoping Boninay would at least have a bite, but no. She just wants her shake because it was a hot day. And because she's being picky :D

 After our meal, father and daughter stopped to watch the Koi fishes...

That was fun! Bye! :)

It's More Fun in the Philippines, Part 3

From Starfish Island, we hopped to 2 more islands.

Welcome to Snake Island! According to Philippines Travel Wiki it got its name because it has an elongated shape. Mangroves grew on the southern end of the island while most of its northern section is made of white sand that stretches about 2km long. On high tide, most of its long sand bar sinks underwater.

 Our last stop was at Pandan Island where we just made tambay. We were already tired, hahaha! This is also where you can rinse with fresh water after a whole day of swimming in sea water and before going back to the mainland.

The kids just played on the sand this time

  Then we went back to Honda Bay where our ride to our place was waiting to take us home.

At Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club Part 3

This is Chateau Royale at night.

 

 What's for dinner?

We had Fresh Salad, Fried Chicken, Pancit Guisado, Fish Fillet and Fried Tilapia which I didn't bother to take any picture of. We were really starving so taking pictures was the last thing on our minds.  Oh, I did bother to take a snapshot of their menu using my iPhone 3gs.

 
The appetizer and dessert also gets a shot. But that's it. LOL.

Fresh Salad

We passed by Santa at the lobby!

 

 

Food was just, well, alright. Nothing to write home about.
It was still a nice dinner, because we were with family. :)

At Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club Part 2

After finishing the registration and  exploring the souvenir shop, we had to drive again to proceed to the Log Cabin. It's not that far, though. We passed by this big, tall rock for Wall Climbing. Didn't dare try it.

 

We parked our car at the parking lot and walked to the cabin.  

Unfortunately, this is not our cabin. (Photo Source)

Basically, our cabin looks likes this from outside. I didn't get to take a picture like this from my own camera since it was raining and we all just want to lie down and rest, haha!

Sshhh... (kumusta naman ang butas na screen?)

View from our bedroom window

She's the only one who's not tired, haha!

TV reception was bad :(

Few hours later, we're all starving! The only place where you can get food was in their cafe in the main building. Time to get dinner!

My Boninay is ready for dinner

Boninay: "What's taking them so long to prepare?"

Let's go!

At Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club Part 1

So last Sunday, we were at Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club in Nasugbu, Batangas with hubby's family. My MIL purchased a voucher online through Ensogo and booked us for an overnight stay for 4 in their Log Cabin, with free breakfast for only P1, 900 (which was valued at about P3,500 more or less). Not bad, if you ask me.

Our Fellow Guests

Reception/Registration Area

There's the pool! Too bad it was a bit raining when we arrived. The weather was so cold and so was the water in that pool. My little girl can't wait to go swimming, but how?

My Boninay was so excited!

Kiddie pool

Yes, there's real sand!

 We then checked out their souvenir shop:
 

I wonder what's inside?

Hmmm...

I <3 TAGAYTAY tumblers

And Shirts

Yes, you can find Angry Birds almost anywhere nowadays!

These are really cute band-aids!

Snacks

Didn't bother to know how this was a shopping bag (as stated on the label)

Flipflops in case you forgot to pack a pair

Boninay with the gang

These are pretty, huh?
