From the beautiful green hills and cool mountain air of north Philippines we sharply transitioned into the scorching sun and deep blue waters of the island of Palawan, voted best island in the world by Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards for 2014. We boarded an Air Asia flight (75$ per person return flight) in Manila landing in Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan and stayed the night in the friendly Dallas inn (600PHP tiny room). We had dinner at the recommended vegetarian Ima's restaurant but we found the food only average and a bit overpriced.
