Puerto Princesa, Philippines - A Port Guide and an Excursion to Prison!
This video gives a concise overview of the cruise port at Puerto Princesa, Philippines. There was welcoming, local entertainment with cultural costumes and dancing right at the port as we arrived. I show you what to expect at the port, the tours you might choose from the tourist information station at arrival, and I take you on the excursion we took which included a stop at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, the Plaza Cuartel, The Palawan Special Battalion World War II memorial Museum, the Palawan Heritage Center and our visit to the Penal Colony - A prison of sorts which is more like a working farm than a prison. Seems like a really good idea to me.
