Coron: Palawan

June 10-13 with former Ideyatech teammates.

We booked the tickets months prior, February, for this 2nd trip to Palawan. This time I was not active in booking and looking for places as what I've been from 2 trips years back (Bora 2010, Puerto Princesa 2011). JC did all the hardwork and he deserves some praise.

We were initially 7 people, but Mary and her boyfriend did not push through since Mary got sick the day of the trip.

The weather was also not cooperating and there was an impending typhoon too!

We arrived at the Busuanga airport and it was a very small place in the middle of the mountains. It was also the day of the Pacquiao-Bradley match (where Pacquiao lost), our contact cannot be reached and we are still waiting for Kervi who's on another flight.

Our 4days were spent at Sunz Coron, a nice resort at the back of Mt. Tapyas, and is owned by a Korean lady (who greets us when we arrive at the place) .

Sunz en Coron breakfast is free if it costs 150. If you go beyond that price then you have to pay the extra amount.

Day 1:
Mt. Tapyas. Climb the mountain through 700+ steps. At the top see the panoramic view of the islands of Coron.
Maquinit Hot Spring. Dip into this hot spring, besides the mangrove forest, and relax your way. The hot water is very soothing and relaxing.

Day 2: Island Hopping
Siete Pecados. Fish feeding and snorkeling
Kayangan Lagoon. Swim in the very clear waters of this lagoon
Twin Lagoon. Swim and enjoy the cold waters in this hidden lagoon.
Banol Beach. Fine sand under huge rocks. Very survivor like setting.

Day 3: Beach hopping
Banana Island. Very nice white sandy beach and well maintained island.
Bulog Island. Sand bars and snorkeling. Nice corals.
Shipwreck site. eerily see parts of the sunken ship, and the fishes here are huge...

Day 4: Going Home.
One of the scariest, and lows of my life. The feeling that your flight might be cancelled is very frustrating and there is nothing you can do about it. The only things that can be done is pray. Pray hard. I thank the Lord for answering my prayers and I was safely back home in Cebu on time.
