Palawan Trip 7: Where tourists go!

One of the tourists' stop in Palawan is the Mitra ranch owned by the former senator Ramon Mitra and his family.  It is located some one hour drive from Puerto Princesa City. 
It has a zipline, horseback riding and great outdoors, rolling hills for photo ops with the city at the horizon as the backdrop.  We did not waste time as we posed for mementos. 

The next 'pee-stop' is the Baker's Hill where tourists buy all kinds of assorted delicacies from the noted Palawan hopia to cakes, pastries, candies, bread and what have you.  

Tourists come here to see the well-landscaped grounds with colorful statues of various movie and Disney characters posted all over the compound.

This is the house of the owner of Baker's Hill. Tourists enjoy meandering the area, taking/making photos at every turn.  Baker's Hill has also a Pizza stand, a small restaurant and  a children's playground. 

 From Baker's Hill, let's ride back to Palawan City and visit its 'Tiangge' (market center) where all kinds of souvenir items including slippers, t-shirts, shorts, pearls, costume jewelry, wood carvings are bought.  

Pearls of various sizes--earrings, bracelets, necklaces, raw pearls, south-sea pearls are cheaper to buy in Puerto Princesa.  You can also get them in bulk.  Pearl earrings at P10, 20, 50/pc; bracelets and necklaces at 3 for P100; and many many more at very affordable prices! 

I bought quite a number of items as "pasalubongs" for friends.

My next entry will be the Palawan Capitol and KaLui restaurant. Until then...
