We wonder if The Amsterdam is one of the first cruise ships to visit Puerto Princesa. The dock appears to be brand new. Finishing touches are still under way. We were given a royal welcome. Entire school classes turned out to greet us, sing for us, and decorate us with pretty necklaces.
A family paddled right up to the ship, to get a closer look at us.
We walked into town, saying "no thanks" to the many pedicab drivers who offered their services. We visited the town square and the Cathedral.
Inside, an invisible choir of birds serenaded us from the rafters.
We looked at the shops, but headed back to the ship as the heat and humidity closed in on us (and this was at 8:30 am!)
Not everyone minded the heat
Note: I tried but didn't succeed in making the blog pictures bigger. Can't complain. The program is working so well otherwise.
According to the news, the folks back home are digging out from yet another big snowstorm. We hope it isn't as bad as CNN makes it sound!
