The Best Adventure: Coron, Palawan, Philippines - Day 2 - Part 1

The Best Adventure: Coron, Palawan, Philippines
An adventure in the majestic places of the Philippine Islands


We're supposed to be out by 8AM expecting the boat we will use for the island hopping/tour is in our lodge pier.


Breakfast


Our Tour package includes Breakfast and Lunch for Day 2. Breakfast will be taken in the hotel from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM. Beyond time, Breakfast is forfeited. Breakfast is just fine. 1 Plain Rice, 1 pc sunny-side up egg, 1 pc regular size hotdog and 1 cup coffee. Yes, "bitin" short for big tummies. if you want more, order for your own. They run this Japanese Restaurant, I am not sure about the menu. I heard they have like sushi and something else. We finish our breakfast 15 minutes before 8. We head back to our room to wait for our tour guide. Ate Brenda told me the day before to wait for either Bernard or Dexter. She say, they are the best guide for the island hopping.


We're so ready to hit the beach, we were just waiting for our guide. Ohh, prepare your cash. Every drop has entrance fee.


Finally! A knock on the door. His name is Bernard (You will learn everything about our guide). I thought the boat is on our lodge pier. Bernard had us a walk 1 Kilometer to the town pier. When were getting near. He said. "Sir, ok lang ba sa inyo maglakad?" asking if its OK for us to walk. To my knowledge and the way i'm seeing things, we're just a few steps away from the pier and the boat to be exact.


Siete Pecados


Bernard ask if we bring bread for the fish feeding, of course NO. Dexter(the other guide) immediately grab a tricycle and buy 100-peso worth of bun. Enough for all.


Finally, I hear the motor of the boat started. For about 15-20 minutes we reach our first destination. Life-Vest ON, goggles checked and we are ready to hit the water.




Entrance fee is PHP 100. I am so excited to hit the water, of course I jump in the water first. I can see different kinds of fishes. The water is beautiful. We stayed for about an hour just feeding fishes. It was amazing. That's our first stop and there's a lot of word to describe it. Coron is beautiful.




Kayangan Lake


The moment they say we are going to a lake, a lot of thoughts is jumping of my mind. How in the world there's a lake in the ocean? Fascinating right? We passed-by a really-small-Islet (redundant coz it's really just a small pice of boulder floating in the water) called Calachuchi




There is a calachuchi tree at the top of the boulder. The way to Kayangan lake is a beauty. I was amazed and loving every work of nature I am seeing. It was really majestic!




And there you go, We are docking at the entrance of Kayangan. There are native people's in there, making their own "bangka" (small boat). Entrance fee to the lake is PHP 200.






Dexter and Bernard are now telling tales about the place. Kayangan Lake is one of the place where Dyesebel (Marian Rivera) was shoot.


It will be a long trek according to Bernard. We logged our name, paid the entrance and ready to see another beauty!




  
Hooo!!! Very tiring! It was a hard trek way up. But wait there's more, there is a trek going down too! We took whole lotta picture before going down.


And finally,




The trek was well paid! It was really another beauty! We immediately hit the water. Its fresh, cool, mesmerizing, what more can I say? By the way, Bernard and Dexter took our camera's. Dexter says' "Just enjoy the water, we will take care of you photos". 




oooppsss, my battery is getting discharge. I will just recharge and happy reading on my next post!
