Baker's Hill: Baked Goods and More for Our Puerto Princesa City Tour (Urban Tour) Eight Stop

It was around lunch time when we Travel Tripsters arrived at Baker's Hill so we entered the bakery and I both Taiwanese buns while Kurt bought their best selling hopia.

Since the packaging of their baked goods is good for travel.  We left them at the tricycle so we could roam around the place first.

Because it is December, they had Christmas decors.

It's like a mini village with house, gardens and displays.

There is also a free playground for the kids.  And, for adults they have exercise machines.  The blue ones you see over there are for exercising.  Others were seriously exercising there during our visit.  I tried some of them too. =)

They have a garden with pathways and displays which is free for anyone to view.

 It was very colorful and creative.

If you're not in a rush like we are, you can play a game of sungka.  I used to play this often when I was a kid.

This classic pinoy game thought me how to count and estimate at a tender age.

It is divided into different gardens.

Commodore N. Hernandez (Ret.) Mansion: Our Puerto Princesa City Tour (Urban Tour) Seventh Stop

Although not in the usual Puerto Princesa City Tour or Urban Tour itinerary, we dropped by Commodore N. Hernandez (Ret.) Mansion which we only saw on some blogs.

It turns out that it is a private property and not open to public anymore as Commodore N. Hernandez (Ret.) is currently living there.  But, since we were already there we asked the nice Commodore who was having his breakfast if we could briefly come in to take a picture.  He was not only friendly, he was very simple and accomodating too while he was enjoying what appears to be pandesal and coffee.

So here's his nice place with a pool too.

I bet its a dream house for residents in the area.

Sta. Monica Ranch: Our Puerto Princesa City Tour (Urban Tour) Ninth Stop

I don't recall ever going to a ranch so I was quite excited to go to Sta. Monica Ranch.


This structure looks similar to a place I've been in Tagaytay when I was young but I can't seem to recall where.


They have some activities to offer like the:
  • Palawan Rancho Zip Line Adventure - 500 php
  • Horse Back Riding - 50 php
  • Trampoline - 35 php
I was expecting a ranch to have a lot of horses but we only spotted two.

The Trampoline looked unenticing to try with lots of leaves and no one trying it.


Knowing that I love zip lines, Kurt was encouraging me to try this one.  I told him it wasn't enough to even tickle my nerves.
