I have been to many wonderful places in Paradise Philippines, but there is one place, I consider very close to my heart – Palawan. There, I spent my last few days with my sisters before coming to Dubai.
Having lived in the province for some time, I was right to expect the same air, the all familiar smell of road dusts, and the noise of tricycle motors in the busy streets of Puerto Princesa. I admit, I wanted to be astounded with the spectacular views of the city when we got off the plane, and yet there were no signs of excitement in the place, until...
The following day, we left the city to go to the outskirts of Palawan. We were on the road for long hours; m y sisters and I were too tired to see the rocky mountains of Palawan, in anticipation of the clear blue waters the tour guide was blabbing about for hours. Finally, after the long and tiring drive and a short ferryboat trip, we were in awe of the beautiful landscape and seascape Palawan had presented.
The islands were so beautiful, very naked and yet very mystifying; the water was so clear and yet, it seemed to draw you deep into an abyss. It was the spell of paradise, I realized - to enchant our hearts and look into the depths of our souls. We were captivated by its flawlessness, no doubt.
It was truly a joy to have shared it with my sisters. Our few days there were like the longest and one of my treasured moments at home – indeed a paradise at its best.
