Avatar-like landscape of Palawan

In awe seeing the Avatar-like landscapes and beaches of the Philippines for the first time. I went to the Philippines during the typhoon season (July) this year with all my fingers crossed. Unfortunately, I needed to witness the landfall of two typhoons almost simultaneously in the country which kinda messed up my travel plans quite a lot. Arriving in Palawan was an adventure. We hopped in a propeller plane amidst a whirling typhoon on the Northeastern part of the Philippines, though the flight went really well. But the story didn’t end up there. As we arrived in the nearby town, we we’re informed that the boats weren’t allowed to sail to these islands due to a gale warning. So we waited for days and were checking our phone every 7am to know the advice from the local coast guard if the boats were permitted to sail on the day. On the 3rd day, the weather unexpectedly went „okay“ and we received the green light to sail. Though the weather was very gloomy, we were still surprised how clear and blue the waters are and we’re very glad to be able to witness the beauty of this place. So never give up on something that excites you! Because trust me, at the end of the day, it will be all worth it. #philippines #palawan #travelstoriesph #travelstoriesworld
