When the bad Traveler was just a young boy, he heard from a magazine show on TV of a kid being attacked as well as then devoured by a significant crocodile in the province. because then, I had feared crocodiles. I didn’t like seeing them even on TV. Whenever national geographic channel would function them, I’d switch channels. They had been providing me the creeps up until our Puerto Princesa City Tour.

After our moment with the caterpillars as well as former caterpillars at the Palawan Butterfly Garden, our chauffeur revealed that we would be heading to Palawan wildlife Rescue as well as Conservation center to satisfy some crocodiles. envision exactly how I felt when I discovered about our next stop. “It’s the end of my life as I understand it! I’m gonna dieeee!!!” however of course, I didn’t state it out loud; my good friends would have killed me best then for my kaartehan. So I flashed a wide, fake smile as well as held it for the next 20 minutes or so. We shown up at around 8:30 am. Although we were able to go into the place, we still had to wait on the ticket counter to open at 9am so we killed a long time by taking pictures around.

By the way, right here are the going to hours: Mondays to Fridays, 1:30pm to 5pm; Saturdays 9am to 5pm (lunch break from 12nn-1pm).
