Before I venture out for new destination, I wanted to cover one more place from beautiful Philippines….Palwan. They say Palwan has beautiful beaches and after scrolling down to this photo story, you will agree on that but what’s more enticing about Palwan is…..

Scroll down and see what was covered in a day, in Pureto Princessa, Palwan…..

That’s what I saw as first scene, when I opened my eyes on first morning in Palwan.

After leisure time and photography fun, it was time to visit Butterfly Park….Oh, its just 11 am….on time ????

Butterflies……I am always at a loss of words to explain what I feel when I see these beautiful creatures.

It was around 1 pm and island hoping was yet to be covered. Thinking should not spend more than 3 hours for it was a bad bad idea and I still regret it. They take you to 5 islands via boat and believe me, each of the island is marvelous. You will not leave it until your boatman follow you and ask you for multiple times to get on boat. One of the best experience, would love to repeat. So here I was, hoping the islands for next 3 hours….

And with this, day ended with lots of memories.

They say, you can never forget beautiful memories….I want to add to it, its only until you create new. Philippines and 2017 was closed with great bunch of memories but with a resolution to create more exciting memories in 2018.
