Shelling in Palawan
I have been a lover of the sea and marine life for as long as I can remember. I began snorkeling in 1951 at the age of 12. Then I spent all my free time in the sea collecting shells, fishing and discovering the marine life.
For the last years, as I have now again a lot of free time, I use to travel to tropical islands and seas for new experiences.
I like to share the experience of my last shelling trip in Palawan.
The reason that I choosed Palawan is because it is closer to the China Sea and I was expecting to find some different shells.
I arrived with my wife Angelica on 4 April 99 at the airport of Puerto Princesa, the capital city of Palawan. There waited for us Roger Van Den Berghe, my friend shell lover and cypraea collector, the owner of Princessa Holiday Resort. After driving one and a half hour South to Aborlan we arrived at Princessa Holiday Resort.
The first impression of the resort was very nice, it is located in a quite bay, has a wide white sandy beach with nice bungalows.
