Thursday, April 17th – Sunday, April 20th, 2025 World Tour Days 166 – 169 We loved being in the ocean every day in Coron, but we were excited to leave the province of Palawan for Cebu. We caught a flight to Cebu City, then a taxi a few hours down to our hotel in Moalboal. In Moalboal our hotel was a 30 second walk from the ocean, right by where the sardine run happens.

After a long layover we boarded our flight to our final destination, Puerto Princesa, in the province of Palawan. The flight was less than 1 hour, which was nice and quick. We hit the ground running by walking to the local mall to try Jollibee for the first time, which is a Filipino fast food chain serving fried chicken and spaghetti. I also tried…
